Rewari police spokesman said police were issuing challans on Kosli road when youths on Splendor turned their bike and fled from the spot.

“Police chased them for 8 kilometres and nabbed them. Following, they (three youths) failed to produce the documents of the bike and it was impounded. Our aim is to keep the public safe and they should follow the law and order in the state.”

“I bought this bike a few years ago for ₹20, 000. Police have not only slapped a fine of ₹27,000 but also seized my vehicle. I know that I have violated traffic rules but implementing rules by imposing hefty fines is not the right wat. This government and the officers have failed to understand the problems of a common man,” said Yogesh.
