E-Challan on the way home: Cops slam Varun Dhawan

TIL Desk Bollywood/ Mumbai Police called out actor Varun Dhawan on Twitter for flouting traffic rules by taking a selfie with a fan. The Mumbai Police twitter handle shared a picture of the Mumbai newspaper, which shows Varun Dhawan leaning out of his car to take a selfie with a fan.

The fan is sitting in an autorickshaw, next to his car. From the picture, taken by newspaper photographer, it seems that Dhawan is not wearing a seat belt. The Mumbai police tweeted the picture with a reprimand:

@MumbaiPolice @Varun_dvn “These adventures surely work on D silver screen but certainly not on the roads of Mumbai! U have risked ur life, ur admirer’s & few others. V expect better from a responsible Mumbaikar & youth icon like U! An E-Challan is on d way 2 ur home. Next time, V will B harsher.”

Varun Dhawan was quick to tweet his apologies. @Varun_dvn  “My apologies (with a folded palms emoticon) Our cars werent moving since we were at a traffic signal and I didnt want to hurt the sentiment of a fan but next time Ill keep safety in mind and wont encourage this.”
