Love it or hate it, Uttar Pradesh is one such state in India that has the most bizarre human interest stories. The videos of a couple getting swallowed in drain or police fighting over bribe are proofs of it. As someone who hails from UP, I come across several such bizarre content in real life.
However, I had never imagined that an auto rickshaw can hold more than four people at the backseat. Certainly, I was wrong. A UP auto recently carried at least two dozens’ passengers including front seats at both sides. Not kidding, I know you are shocked too. I have a proof.
A video of 27 passengers deboarding the three-wheeler in UP’s Fatehpur district is going viral on Twitter. The clip shows a cop on duty getting stunned as he counts all the passengers including elderly and children one by one. On-lookers can be seen recording the incident.

The official Twitter handle of Fatehpur police has reacted to the video. According to the tweet, the auto driver has been charged a fine of ₹11,500/- under the Motor Vehicles Act, 1988, for driving passengers more than what is permitted by the law.

One Twitter user even compared the incident with a scene from Bhagam Bhag.
Real-life Bhagam Bhag or for instance Om Puri in Hera Pheri

According to a NDTV report, the cop had stopped the over-speeding autorickshaw near the Bindki Kotwali area of Fatehpur. The autorickshaw has been seized, the report added.
What do you have to say about this?
