Vivek Oberoi gives a twist to 'Pawri Ho Rahi Hai' meme after being fined

Actor Vivek Oberoi who was recently fined by the police for not wearing a helmet while riding a bike took to his Twitter handle to share a video — giving a twist to the viral 'Pawri Ho Rahi Hai' trend. Vivek in the video is seen flaunting his two bikes and later shows his 'challan' (also called Pawti in Marathi) that the police gave him.

A First Information Report was registered here against Bollywood actor Vivek Oberoi on Friday for not using a mask after he shared a video of a ride on motorbike with his wife on Valentine's Day. The video shared by the actor on social media showed him riding a brand-new motorbike without wearing either a helmet or face mask.

With coronavirus cases again rising in Maharashtra, the city administration had warned on Thursday to prosecute those who violate the mandatory mask rule. The case was registered against the actor at Juhu Police Station, an official said.

The FIR was registered against him under IPC sections 188 (Disobedience to order duly promulgated by public servant) and 269 (Negligent act likely to spread infection of disease dangerous to life) alongwith provisions of Maharashtra COVID -19 Precautionary Measures 2020 and the Motor Vehicles Act, the official said.

Besides, a fine of Rs 500 was also imposed on him for not wearing a helmet, the official added. Under both IPC sections 188 and 269, an offender can be punished with upto six months in jail or fine or both.
