Bengaluru: If you think the lockdown will be a good reason to bring out your bikes and do stunts on empty Bengaluru roads for one week, think twice. Bengaluru Police will not only seize your bikes but also book violators under NDMA (National Disaster Management Act). The city police Commissioner Bhaskar Rao said, in case the violator happens to be a minor, his/her parents will be booked. And seized bikes will not be released until the lockdown is lifted.
