Badshah’s convoy fined Rs 15,500 for wrong-side driving in Gurugram

The Gurugram traffic police have issued a challan of Rs 15,500 to a Thar from rapper Badshah’s convoy for driving on the wrong side of the road. Although the vehicle is not registered in Badshah's name, the rapper was traveling in it.

According to the police, Badshah was attending Punjabi singer Karan Aujla’s concert at Airia Mall on Sohna Road on Sunday. Due to a heavy traffic jam, the Thar and two other cars in his convoy used the wrong side of the road to reach the venue.

The incident came to light when videos of the convoy driving on the wrong side were posted on social media platform X (formerly Twitter). The posts quickly went viral, prompting the Gurugram traffic police to act.

In a post on X, the traffic police confirmed the challan, stating, “A challan has been issued and action has been taken for rash driving, playing loud music in the vehicle and driving on the wrong side.”

Traffic Inspector Sohna Road said, “The challan was issued as per the rules under the Motor Vehicles Act and a fine of Rs 15,500 was imposed. Investigations are ongoing to identify and take action against the other two vehicles involved.”

In an official statement, the Gurugram traffic police warned the public, “If you drive on the wrong side, you will have to pay a heavy fine.”

DCP Traffic, Virender Vij, said, “During the investigation, cameras revealed three vehicles driving on the wrong side, including the one carrying Badshah. A challan has been issued to one vehicle, and efforts are underway to locate the other two. Action against wrong-side driving will continue in the future as well.”

The police reiterated their commitment to strict enforcement of traffic rules, emphasising that such violations would not be tolerated.
