Reacting to the same, Vivek Oberoi gave a quirky response and even lauded the Mumbai Police for their alertness. “Pyaar humein kis mod pe le aaya! Nikle they nayi bike par hum aur hamari jaan, bina helmet ke kat gaya chalaan! Riding without a helmet? Mumbai police will do a checkmate! Thank u @mumbaipolice for making me realise that safety is always most important. Be safe, wear a helmet & a mask.”

Deputy Commissioner of Police (Western Traffic) Somnath Gharge confirmed to TOI that an e-challan was issued to the actor after the Joint Commissioner of Police (Traffic) took cognizance of the matter. Viveo was also found violating the pandemic prohibitory orders, “The actor violated the traffic rules for riding without a helmet. He was also found not wearing a mask,” said the police.
