Bengaluru biker wears frying pan as helmet to dodge traffic police, video goes viral

In a funny yet shocking sight, a Bengaluru biker tried to outsmart the cops by wearing a frying pan instead of a helmet, a move that left the internet in splits and officials unimpressed.

A hilarious yet concerning incident from Bengaluru’s Rupena Agrahara has gone viral after a biker was seen riding with a frying pan strapped to his head instead of a helmet. The bizarre stunt was apparently an attempt to avoid being fined by traffic police for not wearing proper headgear.

Videos of the incident quickly spread across social media, showing the man confidently navigating the roads with the frying pan resting on his head. Motorists and pedestrians burst into laughter, with some filming the unusual sight. Even the police officers at the spot appeared momentarily stunned by the biker’s unusual creativity.

While the clip has generated plenty of jokes online, it has also sparked a serious conversation about road safety in the city. Several netizens pointed out that while the act may be funny, it also reflects a dangerous disregard for traffic rules. “Helmets save lives, not frying pans,” one user commented, while another quipped, “Innovation level: Bengaluru traffic edition.”

Taking note of the viral video, the Karnataka State Police issued a statement on X (formerly Twitter), urging citizens not to risk their lives for the sake of humour or fines. The post read:

“A humble request to all riders: follow traffic rules. ‘Jugaad’ or attempting to evade fines through silly stunts is not acceptable. Always wear a helmet. Bengaluru traffic is tough, and your head is equally fragile in a fall. Keep your frying pans in the kitchen, not on your head. Be smart, be safe.”
