Bengaluru, the bustling high-tech startup hub known for its fast-paced lifestyle, recently witnessed a lighthearted moment that amused its residents. The incident involved a school bus making wrong U-turns on a busy road, catching the attention of alert citizens who promptly reported the violation to the traffic police. A Twitter user with the handle "@ChrysalisHigh" posted a complaint, alerting the authorities about the school bus (bearing the number KA53AA6189) driving in the wrong direction under the Garudacharpalya metro station from Brigade Metropolis.

The tweet also emphasized the serious safety concern as the bus was full of students, urging the traffic police to take strict action against the driver. Having spotted the tweet, Bengaluru's traffic police promptly took action, issuing a challan to the bus driver; his response to receiving the challan turned the situation into one of comedy. The traffic police's official Twitter profile shared an image of the bus driver receiving the fine, but the driver's reaction turned the scene into something entirely different.

This amusing and unconventional response from the driver sparked a wave of hilarious reactions on social media. Netizens couldn't resist making light of the situation, playfully suggesting that the fine appeared to be an unconventional form of recognition from the cop.
