Viral Video: Pune Traffic Police Driver Allegedly Accepts Bribe in Viman Nagar
Pune, 10th April 2024: A viral video circulating on X (formerly Twitter) has captured a concerning incident involving a driver from Pune City Traffic Police’s towing vehicle allegedly accepting a bribe in Viman Nagar. The footage, shared by a social media user on Wednesday, shows a person engaged in conversation with a traffic police official. In the video, the person then pulls money from their wallet and attempts to hand it over to the official. Surprisingly, the official redirects them, indicating that the money should be given to the driver of the towing vehicle instead. Subsequently, the towing vehicle is seen driving away after reportedly receiving the bribe, while the person returns to their vehicle.
Sir, @CPPuneCity I saw your team taking a bribe in front of Vimannagar Traffic Police station. The traffic officer to stay clean, handed the cash to the driver to keep her hands clean. I hope some action is taken. @NoziaSayyed FyI @punekarnews @PuneCityTraffic @ThePuneMirror pic.twitter.com/h3PX2xFqBR
