According to a report in The Times of India, police sent a challan of ₹1000 to the vehicle owner near Marathahalli Road while his Kia Seltos had two kids gazing through its sunroof. A challan of ₹1000 was sent to the violator after an X user spotted the violation and posted it on social media.

Meanwhile, Bengaluru traffic police commissioner MN Anucheth said that anyone popping out from the sunroof would be considered as a violation and ‘unsafe driving practice. He said, “Numerous accidents happen due to people coming out of the sunroofs on roads. It is a dangerous driving practice and it will also harm other’s safety on the road. Other than safety, doing such things is illegal, and many are unaware of the rules. A ₹1000 fine will be imposed if anyone was found violating the rule."

Another senior police official told the publication that the number of people coming out of sunroofs has drastically increased in recent times. “So many people are coming out of sunroofs on busy roads and highways. It is high time that they must prioritise their own safety,” he added.
