"Two days ago, a video went viral on social media showing a car with lipstick-like marks on its body moving in the City Centre area," Traffic Police Inspector Abhishek Raghuvanshi told reporters on Monday.

Sikarwar told NDTV, “A female friend of mine made it. I had parked the car and stepped away, and she created the marks. I had posted the video on Instagram."

He continued, "My friend thought that if we did this, the video would go viral, so we posted it. It did go viral. She covered the entire car with the marks.”
