Young man drives car with helmet in Athani
On September 12, Subhash Bojane, a young businessman from Athani, drove his car with a helmet attached, in protest against police authorities. He claimed he was issued a notice demanding ₹500 for allegedly driving without a helmet. Bojane shared a video of his protest on his social media platforms.
The incident occurred after AI cameras captured Bojane's car passing through Ambedkar Circle in Athani a few days prior. The authorities then sent him a WhatsApp notification notifying him of a ₹500 fine due to his violation. The reason cited in the notice was simply "No Helmet."
This incident sparked an online debate regarding the functionality of AI cameras. According to police officers in Athani, the notices were generated due to technical glitches in the cameras on Sunday, September 13.
