A viral video has prompted swift action from Gurugram traffic authorities, resulting in the suspension of three officers under corruption allegations. The footage, recorded by a Japanese tourist, shows traffic personnel demanding ₹1,000 in cash from him for riding pillion without a helmet—expressly refusing card payments and failing to issue a receipt.
The tourist, captured on camera by wearing Meta smart glasses, questioned why other riders with similar violations were not stopped. Still, the officers insisted he pay immediately—“here or in court”—and took two ₹500 notes without documentation.
Gurugram Traffic Police responded decisively: Zone Officer ESI Karan Singh, Constable Shubham, and Home Guard Bhupender were suspended with immediate effect under the city’s “zero tolerance” stance on corruption. The department reiterated its commitment to transparency and urged citizens to report any similar incidents.
