Overview
- A commuter-recorded clip posted on X by SpiderAlert24 showed four uniformed police personnel on a single motorcycle and circulated widely online, drawing thousands of views and comments.
- The footage appears to show only the rider wearing a helmet while three pillion officers rode without protective gear on a congested, damaged road and a vehicle registration plate is visible in the video.
- Viewers quickly accused the officers of hypocrisy and unequal enforcement of traffic rules, saying the scene contrasts with fines commonly imposed on civilians for similar violations.
- Major outlets reporting the clip said they could not independently verify when or where it was filmed, and Patna Traffic Police have opened an inquiry to identify the riders using the bike’s registration and other checks.
- If the inquiry confirms the video, officials could take departmental action and the case may affect public trust in traffic enforcement; the visible plate offers a concrete route to accountability.
