Karnataka Deputy CM Violates Traffic Law by Riding with Illegal Helmet
DK Shivakumar, a high-ranking official in Karnataka, was caught riding a scooter with a helmet that is against the law.
The police are supposed to make sure everyone follows traffic rules, but they haven't taken action against him.
The government requires all helmets sold to be ISI-approved.
His scooter also had unpaid fines for breaking traffic rules.
This situation brings up the question of whether officials are held to the same rules as the public.
Some believe this shows a double standard and that officials should be treated the same as everyone else when it comes to following traffic laws.
Karnataka Deputy CM DK Shivakumar was seen riding a scooter with an illegal helmet.
Authorities have been cracking down on unsafe helmets and those not meeting ISI norms.
The Honda Dio scooter Shivakumar was riding had over Rs 18,000 in unpaid fines.
The fines for the scooter have been cleared, but the helmet issue remains.
The incident raises concerns about double standards in governance regarding traffic violations.
