Picture Of Andhra Pradesh Police Officer Pleading To Overloading Biker Has Twitter In Splits

In a rare sight, a cop from Andhra Pradesh is seen folding his hands, perhaps pleasing or in utter disbelief, after he sees five people traveling in a motorcycle that is made to seat two. 

 A picture shared by the Karnataka IPS Officer Abhishek Goyal shows an officer, hands folded and head bowed, standing in front of a bike that was somehow able to accommodate 5 people, including two children sitting before the rider and 2 women sitting behind him with none of them wearing helmet. 


The concerned people in the picture appear to have violated many a law, including Section 194A (overloading of passengers) and Section 194D (driving without a helmet), according to the Motor Vehicles Amendment Bill 2017.

However, the picture in question is a common reality found among the country's middle-class commuters, thanks to its growing population and the world-famous ways of 'jugaad'.

Comments in the tweet point out to the commonality of such violations of law with one user saying that the picture isn바카라™t shocking because riders in Uttar Pradesh, the most populous state in the country, can manage to fit in 9 people in a bike. Another one calling it a 'typical middle class mode of transportation'.
