According to the post shared by Basil, it could be understood that he got a call from an official of the Motor Vehicle Department after the challan’s picture he shared went viral in social media platforms. The official confirmed about the existence of such section and added that it is not applicable for two wheelers and private vehicles.

The official further clarified that the challan is applicable only for public transport such as buses. Basil Shyam said “It was only a typing error by the officers who wrote the section. Apart from that my bike didn’t run out of petrol while I was on my way and no policeman has fined me for that”

Many users from online misunderstood the context by seeing the picture of the challan and has been condemning the Kerala government. It is high time for the traffic police department to restrain from making such silly blunders.
