Just like the case of this viral video from Hyderabad that ensured police action against a person who was seen driving dangerously on road. The clip showed three children sitting unrestrained in the boot of a white hatchback car moving on the road. It featured that all the seats inside the car were also occupied, with two passengers in the front and three in the backseat.

“How irresponsible parents they are? Pls take review sir and action,” wrote the user posting the video. The user also tagged the official Twitter handles of Hyderbad police, calling for action.

With the registration number of the car visible, Cyberabad Traffic Police issued an E-Challan. “Sir, Your information has been verified and E-Challan has been generated.
