A young businessman from Athani on Saturday (September 12) drove his car with his helmet on to protest against the police for slapping him with a traffic violation fine for driving a four-wheeler without a helmet.

He said he was given a notice asking him to pay a fine of ₹500 for allegedly not wearing a helmet while driving his car.

Police officers told reporters in Athani on Sunday (September 13) that such notices were generated due to technical glitches in the cameras.
