Bengaluru traffic police constable helps fasting passengers during routine check
Bengaluru: A traffic police constable in Bengaluru helped passengers observing Ramadan fast during a routine vehicle inspection under Adigodi Traffic Police Station.
The incident occurred under the jurisdiction of Adigodi Traffic Police Station during a routine vehicle inspection. Traffic police stopped a car after noticing illegal sun film installed on the windows, which is prohibited under traffic regulations.
Following due procedure, the police imposed a fine of Rs 1,000, which the passengers accepted and paid without any argument.
By the time the chucking process was completed, it was close to sunset. The passengers in the vehicle were observing the Ramadan fast, and it was time for Iftar, when fasting Muslims break their fast. However, being stopped on the roadside during the checking, they had no access to food or water to break their fast.
At this point, traffic police personnel Nagaraj stepped in and arranged food and water for the passengers so they could break their fast on time. While the law was enforced through the fine, the officer also showed respect for religious sentiments and basic human kindness.
The gesture quickly gained attention on social media, with many praising the officer for showing that duty and humanity can go hand in hand.
The passengers also expressed their gratitude, saying, “We regret violating the rules, but we are thankful for the kindness shown to us.”
