Neither the rider, a Congress worker, nor the pillion rider Congress General Secretary Priyanka Gandhi Vadra were wearing helmets, thereby breaking traffic rules. As per reports, the Congress worker has now been challaned with a penalty of Rs 6,100 for breaking the rules. Darapuri was arrested from his Lucknow home on December 21, a day after anti-CAA riots broke out in the city.
