MLA’s Brother Fined for Riding Without Helmet, Briefly Clashes With Police During Traffic Check

[City], [Date]:
In an incident that sparked brief tension at a traffic checkpoint, the brother of a sitting Member of the Legislative Assembly (MLA) was fined on Tuesday for riding a two-wheeler without wearing a helmet. The situation escalated momentarily after the man allegedly got into a scuffle with police personnel on duty.

According to police officials, the incident occurred during a routine traffic enforcement drive aimed at checking violations such as riding without helmets and improper documentation. The man was stopped by traffic police after he was found riding without protective headgear, a violation under the Motor Vehicles Act.

Officials said that after the police seized the bike keys as part of standard procedure, the man allegedly attempted to snatch them back from an officer. This led to a brief physical altercation, drawing the attention of bystanders and commuters in the area.

“During the checking, he was fined for riding without a helmet. When the keys were taken, he tried to forcibly retrieve them, resulting in a minor scuffle,” a senior police officer said. The situation was quickly brought under control by other personnel present at the spot.

Police clarified that no serious injuries were reported and the matter did not escalate further. The individual was later let off after paying the fine, and traffic movement in the area resumed normally.

The incident has once again brought attention to the issue of traffic violations and the need for uniform enforcement of the law, regardless of political connections. Police officials reiterated that traffic rules apply equally to all citizens and that enforcement drives will continue across the city to ensure road safety.

Meanwhile, no official statement has been issued by the MLA regarding the incident involving his brother.
