The traffic issue in Bengaluru has once again drawn criticism, but this time the focus is on flagrant infractions occurring directly in front of traffic police officials who appear unconcerned, rather than just traffic congestion.
 
A citizen posted a video that went viral, showing bikers riding triple seats without helmets while traffic cops wait close, seeming unconcerned. "Dear, may I know which areas in Bangalore can be driven by breaking traffic rules?" was a sarcastic question posted on social media by a furious Bengaluru resident.  Regards, Citizen of Bangalore.
 
Several bikers are shown in the film ignoring traffic laws, packing three people onto one bike, and riding without helmets.
 
Even more startling is the fact that traffic police officers witness these infractions taking place in plain sight, but they do nothing to deter or warn the offenders.
