Jalandhar 12 November : Jalandhar Police took action against two youths who were allegedly creating a disturbance on a motorcycle without a number plate and fitted with a pressure horn on Pratap Bagh Road.
According to the information, the motorcycle-borne youths were repeatedly sounding the pressure horn, causing inconvenience to pedestrians and other road users. A passerby subsequently informed the police control room by calling the emergency helpline 112.
Acting on the complaint, police personnel responded promptly and followed the motorcycle. The two youths were intercepted near Henry Petrol Pump.
During the inspection, police found that the motorcycle did not have a number plate and was fitted with a pressure horn, which the riders had allegedly been using to disturb people on the road.
Police said both youths were made to submit written apologies and were released after being warned not to violate traffic rules in the future. The pressure horn was removed from the motorcycle and taken into police possession.
Police also warned that any repeat violation would invite legal action.
The incident has once again raised concerns over motorcycles being driven on public roads without number plates and the use of prohibited or unauthorised pressure horns. Questions are also being raised about how such vehicles manage to operate on city roads without proper registration identification.
