Hyderabad Traffic Police in a very witty way took a dig at a biker who was driving without a helmet.
Moreover, on the mudguard of the man's bike, it is written: "No Helmet, I die like real men."
The traffic police's social media team posted a picture of the offender and the e-challan issued for him, along with a very sarcastic message.
Twitter users appreciated the humorous was of teaching the guy a lesson.
#HYDTPweCareForU We r extremely Sorry Mr. Krishna Reddy Sir. We won't let U die. We will see that U "LIVE LIKE REAL MEN". Please wear helmet & ride. ?♂️?@AddlCPTrHyd pic.twitter.com/Q9NFcD4hva

Clearly this guy is so dumb that he is wearing his stupidity as crown. No sympathy for these kind. They are danger to society.

Hope this tweet will reach him and he will be a change
Hyderabad Traffic Police appreciating the overwhelming response expressed their gratitude and said that issuing challans only will not bring about any change. They urged citizens to change from within.
All the viewers Thank u for ur tweets. We believe that imposing Challan wont bring change. Change should come from citizens. Loss of life is irrepairable to his family and Nation too also. Wish u safe and happy driving. Raju Inspector Admin.

There were some Twitter users who tweeted photos of police breaking the rule and driving without a helmet. One user challenged the Hyderabad Traffic Police to issue a challan to one of their own men.
I challenge @HYDTP @TelanganaDGP to issue challan in 1 hour.

Last month Bollywood actor Kunal Khemu received flak after he was spotted riding a bike without a helmet. He later apologized saying that he doesn't want to set the wrong example. He also received a strong warning from Mumbai police.
