India Today
Two Sikkim cops moved a tourist's wrongly parked bike during the festival to avoid fining the owner, which earned them praise and admiration from the internet.
A man came across two Sikkim cops moving a tourist's wrongly parked motorcycle from a no parking zone to its designated spot during the festive rush, a small act that has received widespread attention online.
The moment was shared in a now-viral Instagram video by Satyajeet Dahiya, who explained what he witnessed in the caption of his post. “I saw two police officers moving a parked bike and asked them why. They explained that it was blocking the road, and they were placing it properly,” he wrote.
Dahiya added that with the festive season underway and “many guests [having] come from West Bengal to experience the celebrations, they wanted to avoid any inconvenience or trouble. This kind of responsibility and care truly reflects the spirit of the festival.”
In the video, Dahiya is seen approaching the two cops and asking what they were doing. One of the cops responds matter-of-factly, saying, “Streets get busy, the owner of this bike parked it is a no parking zone and could get fined, so we’re making sure it is parked on the side.” Instead of immediately issuing a challan, the officers chose to move the bike themselves to keep the road clear.
The man filming can also be heard praising the cops for their thoughtfulness and dedication, thanking them for handling the situation with care rather than punishment.
