According to officials, traffic police were carrying out a helmet checking drive when they stopped a BJP worker for riding without a helmet. The rider tried to make the traffic inspector speak to Abhay Pandit over the phone, but the officer refused. Soon after, Pandit reached the spot.

As soon as he arrived, an argument began between the two. In the viral video, Pandit is seen accusing the traffic police of illegally collecting money from vehicle owners.

Traffic Inspector Sanjay Suryavanshi repeatedly told him that the police were only carrying out action as per the rules. He also asked Pandit not to misbehave with police personnel or interfere in official work, warning that a case could be registered if he continued.

The argument attracted a crowd, with several people stopping to watch the incident.

The traffic Inspector later said he did not know who the man arguing with him was and that he was only performing his duty.

He added that the rider without a helmet was fined, and officials also found that three earlier traffic challans against the rider were still pending.
