Mumbai police send Kunal Kemmu on a ride for not wearing a helmet

The Hindi film industry is filled with quite a few biking enthusiasts. And it looks like the Mumbai police has its eyes on them. An eagle-eyed Twitterati just cost actor Kunal Kemmu some money as the cops sent an e-challan his way. The actor was pulled up by the police for not wearing a helmet while he took a ride around the city on his bike.

It started when a Twitter user posted a picture of Kemmu on his bike, wearing just a cap. 'He deserves a challan,' wrote the user. Funnily enough, the Mumbai police caught on to the tweet and promptly sent an e-challan Kemmu's way.

'Hope next time the realisation won’t be an afterthought! An e-challan has been dispatched,' wrote the cops.

While it is likely that Kemmu was not too pleased at receiving a challan early morning, he apologised for the error through a tweet. "Honestly it’s very embarrassing given I love bikes and ride regularly and always with a helmet and some more gear but whether it’s a long ride or just next door a helmet should always be worn.apologies I don’t want to set the wrong example!" the actor admitted.

With a number of actors from Ajay Devgn to Sushant Singh Rajput and, of course, Salman Khan, having displayed their fondness for bikes, it looks like they might be facing the real heroes of the town.
