Young Man in Haryana Fined Rs 33,000 for Modified Bullet Bike

Gohana police have launched a strict enforcement campaign targeting motorcycle riders who modify their bikes to produce loud, cracking sounds that disturb residents and create road hazards. 

In the most recent case, a young man faced a steep Rs 33,000 fine after police caught him riding a modified Bullet motorcycle in Gohana city. Police not only issued the fine but also impounded his vehicle as part of their ongoing effort to curb traffic violations. 

The action comes just a day after police issued Rs 21,000 fines to two other Bullet motorcycle riders for similar violations. 

Special Campaign Against Modified Silencers

ACP Rishikant of Gohana explained that the police department has set up checkpoints at various locations throughout the city to identify and penalize traffic rule violators. "We are paying special attention to Bullet motorcycles with modified silencers that create loud, cracking noises," said ACP Rishikant. 

These souped-up bikes are everywhere in Gohana these days. Riders are swapping out the regular mufflers for fancy ones that make those loud popping noises. It's not just annoying for people living nearby - those sudden explosive sounds scare other drivers on the road and could easily cause crashes. 

Impact on Local Residents

The loud noises from these modified motorcycles have been a growing concern for Gohana residents, particularly the elderly, children, and those working from home. Many locals have complained about being startled by the sudden explosive sounds, which sometimes resemble gunshots or firecrackers. 

Wider Traffic Enforcement Efforts

While Bullet motorcycles with modified silencers are a primary target, the police campaign extends to all types of traffic violations. Officers have established checkpoints across Gohana to check for proper documentation, helmet usage, triple riding, and other common violations.

"We want every person in Gohana to feel safe on our roads," said ACP Rishikant. "That means all vehicles need to follow the rules. Yes, we're cracking down on those noisy motorcycles right now, but we're watching for all kinds of traffic violations." Police made it clear this isn't a temporary measure. They'll keep issuing heavy fines and taking away vehicles from the worst offenders or those who keep breaking the rules. Their advice to motorcycle owners was straightforward: stick to the factory parts and don't make changes that break noise rules or other traffic laws.
