Kemmu fined for riding bike without helmet

MUMBAI: Mumbai Police on Wednesday sent an e-challan to Bollywood actor Kunal Kemmu for violating traffic norms. Earlier, Kemmu had uploaded a photograph showing him riding a motorcycle without wearing a helmet. "@kunalkemmu You love bikes, we love every citizen's safety. And we wish a regret could avert mishaps! Hope next time the realisation won't be an afterthought! An e-challan has been dispatched," the Mumbai police wrote on its official Twitter handle on Wednesday. The actor was taken aback by this prompt action and apologised for the error. He admitted, ‘I do not want to set a wrong example’. Kemmu apologised on social media, saying that traffic rules should always be followed even if one wished to use a two wheeler to the next building without a helmet. “I have seen this picture out there and honestly it's very embarrassing given I love bikes and ride regularly and always with a helmet and some more gear but whether it's a long ride or just next door a helmet should always be worn. Apologies I don't want to set the wrong example (sic)," the actor tweeted.
