Ujjain BJP MP Rode Without Helmet, Then Paid Rs 250 Fine On His Own

BJP MP from Madhya Pradesh's Ujjain Anil Firojiya, accompanied by Madhya Pradesh Higher Education Minister Mohan Yadav, today paid a fine of Rs 250 after realising that he was not wearing a helmet while riding a motorcycle.

Earlier in the day, Mr Yadav and Mr Firojiya visited a local agriculture market on a motorcycle, urging people to follow COVID-19 protocols during the unlocking of the "corona curfew".

"However, we realised that while doing so we have violated traffic rules by not wearing a helmet following which we decided to pay the fine," Anil Firojiya told news agency PTI.

Ujjain traffic police station in-charge Pavan Kumar Bangdi said the local MP realised his mistake of not wearing a helmet while riding a motorcycle.

"The MP along with the minister came to the traffic police's office on his own and paid the fine of Rs 250," he said.
