Tracking the fines for some time, Shibam revealed that the fine amount had increased from ₹1,05,500 last year to ₹1.61 lakh. The post included images of the vehicle and its rider, who was seen violating traffic rules such as driving without a helmet and engaging in erratic driving. Along with the images, Shibam shared a screenshot from the Traffic Challan Payment app, showing the accumulating fines. The post questioned why the Bengaluru City Traffic Police had not seized the vehicle despite its repeated violations.
