Cop fined Rs 16k for riding with wife seated on fuel tank, recording reel
The regional transport officer (RTO), Cuttack, imposed a fine of Rs 16,000 on a police officer, who was filmed riding a motorcycle with his wife seated precariously on the fuel tank, both without helmets. The couple was apparently recording a reel while navigating a busy road, endangering themselves and others. The video, which has been widely circulated on social media platforms, has drawn sharp criticism for their reckless behaviour and blatant disregard for traffic rules.
In a separate video, a young woman was seen riding a motorcycle without a helmet on the Angul-Cuttack route, performing stunts amid the traffic. The clip too gained significant traction on social media, sparking condemnation.
Reacting to public outcry and social media appeals, Shinde said, "I have ordered an inquiry and asked the RTO to immediately take action against the errant riders. A case must be lodged under relevant sections of the Motor Vehicles Act."

He further emphasised the importance of road safety and adherence to traffic guidelines.
Rajesh Behera, a commuter from CDA, said, "Roads are already unsafe with increasing traffic. When people, especially police officers, start making reels while riding, it sends the wrong message. Strict action is the only way to stop this trend."
Lalmohan Sethi, additional commissioner of the State Transport Authority (STA), said the RTO has been informed to take immediate action. "This kind of reckless riding, whether by civilians or govt officials, is a serious violation of the Motor Vehicles Act. We are verifying the details, and action will be taken, including suspension of licence and penalties under relevant sections," he said.
Sethi also highlighted ongoing efforts to promote road safety. "We have organised several awareness camps across the state to prevent such life-threatening illegal acts," he said.

Last Updated: Elvish Yadav was arrested by Noida Police in March 2024 in connection to the snake venom case. He was granted bail a week later. In a big development in the snake venom case involving Elvish Yadav, the Supreme Court has now granted a stay on trial court proceedings against the YouTuber. A Bench of Justices M.M. Sundresh and Joymalya Bagchi issued notice to the Uttar Pradesh government and the complainant Gaurav Gupta on Wednesday. The apex court was hearing Elvish's plea challenging the chargesheet and the criminal proceedings against him in the case. What Is The Snake Venom Case Involving Elvish Yadav? Elvish Yadav has been making headlines in connection to the Noida Snake Venom case for a long time now. The YouTuber was arrested by Noida Police in March 2024. The case was lodged under provisions of the Wildlife Protection Act, 1972 and for criminal conspiracy under section 120B of the Indian Penal Code, they said. A day after his arrest, NDTV claimed Elvish had admitted to his crimes. However, no official statement was released. A week later, Yadav was granted bail, on a 50,000 bail bond. Talking about the same, his lawyer Prashant Rathi had said, 'Our arguments in this case was that he was falsely accused and no substance was obtained from him or his friends that violated the NDPS act. The court has granted bail to him (Elvish Yadav) as well as his two friends on two sureties of Rs 50,000 each." When Elvish Yadav Opened Up About Staying In Jail In one of his previous YouTube vlogs, Bigg Boss OTT 2 winner answered several fan questions when he also recalled the time he spent in prison. 'Bhagwan na kare koi jail jaaye, bas itna hi kehna chahenge (God forbid anyone goes to jail, that's all I would like to say)," he said. Prior to this too, in one of his vlogs, Yadav called the time in prison as a 'very bad phase of his life" and expressed his gratitude towards those who supported him. 'The one week that went by, no doubt, was a very bad phase of life. What to talk about the time I was inside (jail). Let's start a new chapter on a positive note. All those who supported me didn't support me, talked badly or well about me, thanks to all. I can only thank everyone. I am back to my work," he had said. view comments Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's. Please keep discussions respectful and constructive.

Congress councillor named in ‘love jihad' finance case should surrender: Party colleague
The Leader of Opposition, who is a Congress politician, came out in support of Qadri and alleged the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has implicated him in the 'love jihad' case to divert people's attention from basic issues. A reward of Rs 20,000 has been announced by police for providing information leading to the arrest of the councillor, who is absconding for nearly two months. Indore, Aug 6 (PTI) Absconding city Congress councillor Anwar Qadri, accused of funding 'love jihad', should surrender before police, his party colleague and Leader of Opposition in the Indore Municipal Corporation (IMC) Chintu Choukse said on Wednesday. Talking to reporters, he said, 'The BJP government is presenting Qadri as the biggest criminal of the state, but in municipal corporation conferences, he always spoke in support of cows and temples.' Chouksey claimed Qadri was implicated in the alleged 'love jihad' funding case at the BJP's behest in the same manner as false charges were being framed against opposition politicians across the country by misusing law enforcement agencies to divert people's attention from key issues. Asked why Qadri has been running away from the law, the Leader of Opposition replied, 'Of course this is a mistake. He should surrender.' Indore Mayor Pushyamitra Bhargava said on Tuesday a proposal will be presented in the upcoming meeting of the civic body to cancel Qadri's membership because his continuation as a councillor is not in the interest of the city given the serious allegations against him, including the 'love jihad' case. The term 'love jihad' is used by right-wing organisations to claim that Muslim men lure women of other religions into love traps to convert them to Islam. A police official said two young men from the city — Sahil Sheikh and Altaf Shah — had allegedly admitted during interrogation in June that Qadri had given them Rs 3 lakh to convert girls. The duo was arrested in separate cases on charges of raping two women and other offences. On the basis of statements given by the two men, a case was registered against Qadri for being involved in a conspiracy to convert girls/women through financial allurement. Since then, the Congress councillor is absconding. The official said after Qadri absconded, the district administration issued an order to arrest him under the National Security Act (NSA). He said 18 criminal cases have been registered against the Congress councillor in different police stations in the city. PTI HWP MAS RSY This report is auto-generated from PTI news service.
