Bengaluru Police Refer Viral Photo of Six Children on One Scooter for Probe

Police referred the viral complaint to a local station pending verification.

Overview

  • A photo posted on X shows six young children on one scooter in Bengaluru, with the poster claiming the incident happened April 26 on Padarayanapura Main Road.
  • Bengaluru Traffic Police acknowledged the complaint and tagged the Magadi Road Traffic Police Station for action, and no public outcome has been announced.
  • The image appears to show one boy steering with five children behind him and no helmets, though reporters note it is unclear if they were riding or posing.
  • Social media users called for penalties on the parents, and former city police chief Bhaskar Rao urged strict enforcement under the Motor Vehicles Act.
  • Under Indian law, minors driving and overloading two‑wheelers are offences that can draw fines for guardians or vehicle owners, and a separate video of a boy riding posted Wednesday prompted police to seek the exact location.
