Bengaluru: A video of a heated argument between a traffic cop and the daughter of MLA Aravind Limbavali about speeding and breaking traffic laws on Rajbhavan Road here has gone viral on Thursday June 9.
An ACP from the Traffic Department was making rounds on Queen’s Road when a luxury BMW car passed beyond the speed limit towards Raj Bhavan. The information on the overspeeding car, as well as its number plate, was relayed to the control room by the ACP. Cubbon Park traffic cops stopped the car after receiving this complaint.
