Atal Setu ride: Khan pays fine, D’Souza seeks more time

Panaji: Superintendent of police (Traffic) Dinraj Govekar on Friday said that Bollywood actor-choreographer Salman Yusuf Khan appeared at Panaji traffic cell and paid the challan of Rs 700 for reckless and dangerous riding, after a video of him riding a bike on Atal Setu went viral recently. Govekar said that director-choreographer Remo D’ Souza has sought time to come to traffic cell to pay the fine.

Traffic cell of the Goa police has summoned Khan and D’Souza for riding bikes on cable-stayed bridge Atal Setu in violation of the rules. Last week, two videos surfaced on social media and vigilant citizens of the state immediately demanded action against them for violating traffic rules.

Taking note of the public outcry over the 21 and 32-second clips, the two-wheelers were traced and seized by police. On Thursday, they found the bikes.

“Thanks #Goa for bringing traffic violations to notice. Recently, two bikers were seen riding on Atal Setu where entry is restricted. Govekar took cognisance and not only identified and impounded the bikes but has summoned riders for legal action. #goapolice,” DGP Mukesh Kumar Meena had tweeted.
