A petrol pump’s way of enforcing the helmet rule for two-wheeler riders in Uttar Pradesh raised questions.<\/p>\n

In a viral video,\u00a0a man on a two-wheeler explains how wearing a helmet has become compulsory.\u00a0“This is how it goes, India is not for beginners. In our city, wearing a helmet has become compulsory, and without one, you cannot roam around or even get fuel,” the man says, before entering a petrol pump on his two-wheeler without a helmet.<\/p>\n

The staff at the filling station, instead of refusing the service, hands him a helmet tied to a rope. After refuelling, he returns the helmet and rides away. The idea ensures that riders follow the law momentarily to get their fuel.<\/p>\n

The video has gone viral, with some viewers finding the solution hilarious. One user commented, “Petrol pump attendants: No matter what, we shouldn’t incur losses”.<\/p>\n

Another added, “Whenever someone says ‘India is not for beginners,’ it means we’re doing something questionable”.<\/p>\n

Not everyone found the situation amusing. A concerned viewer remarked, “This is not good… Police should take action.”<\/p>\n

Someone said, “Civic sense aur moral responsibility died.”<\/p>\n

On Monday, a lineman from the electricity department was denied fuel for not wearing a helmet in Uttar Pradesh’s Hapur district. He retaliated by cutting the power supply<\/a> to the petrol pump. The lineman reportedly scaled a wall near a transformer, climbed a pole and severed the pump’s power line.<\/p>\n

CCTV footage captured the incident, showing bystanders gathering near the transformer to investigate the sudden outage. Power was restored after 20 minutes, but the pump owner lodged a police complaint against the lineman.<\/p>\n
