Nana Peth, 20th August 2021: A two-wheeler owner was lifted along with the bike by Pune traffic police for allegedly parking the vehicle in a no-parking zone, reported Marathi newspaper Pudhari. The incident took place around 5 pm on Thursday.

A towing van along with officials from the Samarth traffic police division was taking action against the vehicles parked in the no-parking area which was obstructing the traffic at Sant Kabir Chowk.
