HELMET WEARING  and FINE FOR NOT WEARING HELMET

When an important political leader or an ordinary person, travelling by car, driving himself or herself or chauffeur driven,  is suddenly stopped by police for no reason whatsoever , and asked not to proceed without any reason, even without asking where they are going, what is the purpose of their commute , whom are they going to visit , suddenly invariably a crowd is sure to gather there . When mob gather, with police around, we can expect what the onlookers will react involuntarily in our areas . If someone is manhandled  and abused , suddenly there will be a division of the crowd into two or more sections even without any clue as to what is going on .  We know the next action process usually on our roads .
Is it wrong for that person , man or woman , to suddenly escape from this arena of tension by scooter or bike or auto which offer an escape so that no further tension build up  and no violence erupts . Just to bring peace , they just moved away from the place . They also do not know what crime or fault they committed. In such situation, surrounded by mob , it is the wisest move to distance
yourself / oneself from that tensed area . If  only a scooter or bike is the only available escape , there is no time for asking for a helmet or for buying one helmet . If they had started from home on scooter or bike, they would have definitely worn the helmet. ‘Now for avoiding  further conflict , Should that person be punished or fined . We must appreciate that on the spot they dowsed the fury of the police and the crowd , even though it has happened without even having any clue as to what the fault is !!!!! Luckily that person reached home without further harassment and saved the police from one more “ extra work “ .
The mob was disappointed that they could not show their  “ martial arts “ there for another “ days performance “ !!!!
