A video has emerged showing an auto-rickshaw driver carrying a device that resembles an e-challan machine used by the Mumbai Traffic Police. The 22-second clip, posted on X (formerly Twitter) by Mumbai activist Mansoor Shaikh, appears to depict the driver walking while holding the handheld device and then handing it to another individual. The device closely resembles the electronic challan machines used by traffic police for issuing digital fines.
The vehicle featured in the video is an auto-rickshaw, and the e-Challan machine allegedly shown is purportedly the one officially issued to Traffic Constable Dev Kamble of the Kurla Traffic Division. However, the authenticity of these claims has not been independently verified. Shaikh tagged the official Mumbai Traffic Police account on X, urging the authorities to investigate the matter and take appropriate action.
The video has sparked concerns on social media about the handling and security of official traffic enforcement equipment. It is unclear whether the device in the footage is indeed an actual Mumbai Traffic Police e-challan machine or a similar-looking device. If confirmed as official police equipment, authorities will need to determine how it ended up in the possession of a private individual. Further details surrounding the video's origin and circumstances are awaited.
