Internet users thanked the police for taking action against the perpetrators. ''Great. Please crack down on wrong-side driving. It is also a stunt by irresponsible drivers,'' one user said.

Another commented, ''Excellent. Please also raise awareness about not standing through the sunroof. Many people (especially parents letting their kids enjoy this in moving cars) don't realise how dangerous it can be.''

A third said, ''Perfect action. Please make strict action against all types of Traffic violators. Traffic will become the richest dept and then reward those police officers who have helped earn max fine collection by following Rules.''

A fourth added, ''Appreciate the action taken. May this be a lesson to all.''
