Mumbai, May 17: The Mumbai Police have imposed fine on riders of two motorcycles for not wearing helmet while offering lift to Bollywood actors Amitabha Bachchan and Anushka Sharma on the city roads, an official said on Wednesday.

"Amitabh and Anushka both have been fined through their riders for bike ride without helmets on Mumbai roads," a senior police official told PTI.

The Mumbai Traffic Police uploaded on their Twitter handle copies of the challans issued on Tuesday against riders of both the vehicles.

Actor Anushka Sharma was recently seen riding pillion on a motorbike, with both the riders without helmet.

Netizens criticised it and some people had brought it to the notice of Mumbai Police by tagging the clips on the police's Twitter handle.

Taking cognisance of it, the police issued a challan against the vehicle rider along with a fine of Rs 10,500, the official said.

"Challan has been issued under Sec 129/194(D), Sec 5/180 & Sec 3(1)181 MV Act to the driver along with a fine of Rs.10500 and been paid by the offender," Mumbai Traffic Police tweeted along with a copy of the challan.

Megastar Amitabh Bachchan was also a few days back seen taking lift on a motorbike to travel amid the city traffic.

He had shared pictures of the ride on his social media account and the riders were seen without helmet.

Netizens pointed out that the rider and the actor were not wearing helmet, following which the Mumbai Police said they had shared this information with the traffic branch.

The traffic police in a tweet late Tuesday night said, "Challan has been issued under section 129/194(D) of MV ACT along with fine of Rs 1000 and it is been paid by the offender."

Chennai, Nov 23: Music composer AR Rahman on Saturday issued a warning to individuals speculating about his separation from his wife, Saira Banu.

Taking to social media on Saturday, the 57-year-old musician shared a three-page legal notice addressing those spreading defamatory and "objectionable" content targeting him and his family.

"Notice to all slanderers from ARR's Legal Team," Rahman wrote on X.

It comes days after Rahman and Saira Banu announced that they are ending their marriage of 29 years.

The notice provides a 24-hour window for the removal of such content, stating that failure to comply could result in legal consequences under the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023.

"My client informs the hatemongers and sharers of abusive contents to remove the objectionable content within the next one hour and a maximum time duration of 24 hours," read the notice.

Rahman’s legal team said the actions of these individuals not only tarnish his reputation but also cause distress to his family.

Rahman and Banu tied the knot in 1995 and share three children-- daughters Khatija, Raheema, and son Ameen.
