Two wheeling cases in Bengaluru: August 22, Tuesday

Meanwhile in Bengaluru, IPS officer Kuldeep Kumar R. Jain, the DCP of traffic in Bengaluru's west division informed that the police has registered two separate cases of wheeling, one in K S Layout and the other in Byatarayanapura traffic police station limits in the city on Tuesday.

“Two separate cases of wheeling cases booked @kslayoutrfps and @bypuratraffic. Wheeling is a dangerous menace of risking life by stunt on road. Only reason is to impress others by uploading on social media. Bonds would be taken from their parents for not involving in such act,” he wrote on Twitter.

K S Layout traffic cops also posted about the crime, saying the accused is identified as an 18-year-old youth called Rizwan, who was found wheeling near the Avalahalli Royal County. A case has been registered against him under sections 279 and 189 of the IPC, they added.
