News Mania Desk / Piyal Chatterjee / 18th December 2024
According to reports, Badshah was fined ₹15,500 for driving on the wrong side of the road in Gurugram on December 15. The incident apparently occurred when he was on his way to Punjabi artist Karan Aujla’s concert for his scheduled engagement. However, the Bollywood rapper has quickly disputed the allegations, claiming he does not even possess a Thar. On Tuesday, Gurugram Traffic Police issued a challan of nearly ₹15,000 to a Mahindra Thar carrying famed rapper Badshah for driving on the wrong side of the road.
According to reports, Badshah was reportedly driving a Mahindra Thar as part of a convoy of three vehicles that took an illegal route, causing public outrage.
Virender Vij, Gurugram’s deputy commissioner of police (traffic), said, “The Thar was registered in the name of a person, Dipender Hooda of Panipat, and he was driving it. The overall online fine imposed against Hooda was ₹15,500 under three sections of the Motor Vehicle Act, including dangerous driving and wrong-side driving,” Vij said.
Badshah quickly resorted to social media to dispute the charges.
Taking to Instagram Stories, Badshah posted a note, which read, “Bhai, Thar toh hai bhi nai mere pass, na mai drive kar raha tha us din (Brother, I don’t own a Thar and I was not driving that day). I was being driven in a white Vellfire, and we always drive responsibly. Chahe gaadiyan chahe game (Be it cars or games).”
