Police in Kerala fine electric scooter owner for ‘No PUC’, cops claim it was typo
An act of imposing a fine on an electric scooter owner for not producing pollution under control (PUC) certificate has put a Kerala police team in trouble as they are being subjected to trolls on social media.
Police claimed it was a typo while issuing a traffic offence ticket of Rs 250 by a police crew in Malappuram district that had made them land in a soup.
The incident occurred when the crew intercepted vehicles and booked traffic offenders in Neelanchery under the Karuvarakundu police station last week.
A police officer said the person who rode the electric scooter failed to produce his driving licence.
