The viral video sparked a social media debate, and several buses of the Haryana and Rajasthan roadways have now been fined following the incident.

In the video, the RSRTC bus conductor can be heard asking the woman to pay 50 for the bus fare. However, the woman, who is seen wearing a police uniform with her face covered, refuses to pay. She even refuses to move after the conductor asks her to get off the bus if she can't pay.

The conductor can be heard saying, “If you are travelling on the bus to Dharuhera (in Haryana), pay 50. You need to pay the amount if you are travelling.” However, the woman repeats, “You will not get it.”

Just after the video went viral on social media, Haryana Police imposed penalties on more than 50 RSRTC buses that operate on busy routes such as Gurugram and Faridabad. As a response, the Rajasthan authorities fined 26 Haryana roadways buses in their routes.

Of the 26 Haryana Roadways buses fined by Rajasthan, nine of them faced challans at Jaipur's Sindhi Camp while 17 others playing elsewhere in the state, as per India Today reports.
