Bengaluru Man Traffic Fine Hits ₹1.61 Lakh for Repeated Violations Without Helmet

Traffic rule violators are often fined, but one Bengaluru resident’s case has gone viral for all the wrong reasons. A man in the city has accumulated a staggering ₹1.61 lakh in traffic fines, all due to his continuous violations. What’s even more shocking is that he has been repeatedly caught riding his scooter without a helmet, defying safety regulations, and ignoring fines.

How Did the Fine Reach ₹1.61 Lakh?

This Bengaluru man’s fines have risen over time due to his habitual disregard for traffic laws. Despite multiple fines, he continues to break the law. On X (formerly Twitter), a user shared several photos of the man riding his scooter without a helmet, even at red lights. This has led to multiple penalties accumulating over the past few months. According to the data posted by the user, the fines started at ₹1,05,500 in 2024 but surged to ₹1.61 lakh by February 2025. The scooter, registered under number KA-05-JX-1344, has racked up the fines, which now exceed the cost of the scooter itself.

Viral Post and User Reactions

On February 2, 2025, the user @HiShibamSarkar reposted their earlier post along with four pictures of the violator. Three photos show him riding without a helmet on busy roads, while the fourth displays the final fine notice with ₹1.61 lakh as the total penalty. Following the post’s virality, users flooded the comments section with reactions ranging from disbelief to humor. Many found the situation hilarious while others expressed frustration over the repeated violations.

Authorities Take Notice

In response to the viral post, @blrcitytraffic, the official traffic police handle, acknowledged the issue and confirmed that necessary actions would be taken to address the repeated offenses. It seems that this time, the violator may not escape further consequences.

This case has certainly sparked conversation about traffic safety and the growing issue of habitual offenders. The viral post has not only raised awareness about the fines but also serves as a reminder to all citizens about the importance of following traffic rules.
