In barely three weeks of the lockdown, the Hyderabad Traffic Police have booked a whopping 2.26 lakh cases against two-wheeler riders for various violations. The total number of cases, counting those against three-wheelers and four-wheelers as well, from March 23 till Saturday is 2.49 lakh.
The cases pertain to various violations of the Motor Vehicle Act and also Section 188 (Disobedience to an order lawfully promulgated by a public servant). Many among the violations are cases of double riding on two wheelers, which is prohibited according to the GO issued by the government for enforcing the lockdown. The other violations include triple riding, driving without helmet, not wearing helmet by pillion rider, violation of no entry and driving without documents, to mention a few.
A majority of the cases booked by the police are via e-challans or non-contact cases, booked after traffic cops on the streets or the control room take pictures of the violator.
