Indore Advocate's Persistent Complaint Halts Nighttime Nuisance Biker
In a swift response to community distress, Indore police have taken action against a biker whose late-night antics were disrupting the peace of Raj Nagar road residents. The incident highlights how citizen vigilance and prompt police intervention can address public nuisance issues effectively.
Sleep Disturbance Leads to Formal Complaint
Advocate Shubham Sharma found himself repeatedly awakened between 11 pm and 1 am as a motorcycle rider created loud bursting sounds while performing stunts on Raj Nagar road. The noise was particularly distressing for Sharma's 5-month-old baby, who would wake up trembling and crying each time the biker passed by.
The disturbance wasn't limited to one household - multiple residents reported similar sleep disruptions, with both young children and elderly community members experiencing distress from the nocturnal disturbances. Sharma attempted to identify the rider on several occasions, but the motorcycle consistently sped away before he could gather sufficient details.
Police Swift Response Following Complaint
On February 12, Sharma submitted a formal written complaint to local authorities, supplementing his report with photographs and video evidence shared through WhatsApp. The police acted with remarkable speed, tracing the motorcycle (registered as MP-09 AX-8887) within 24 hours and detaining the rider just 12 hours after receiving the complaint.
Additional Commissioner Amit Singh detailed the police response: "We received a message from Advocate Sharma regarding the incident, after which I informed Inspector Tilak Karole, who immediately dispatched a team to the spot and identified the accused."
Legal Action and Community Impact
While investigation revealed the motorcycle didn't have a modified silencer, authorities found the rider had been repeatedly using the same route and creating public nuisance. Police imposed a Rs 1,000 fine for speeding and performing stunts at night, along with a formal warning against repeating such behavior.
The rider was required to fill a bond under Section 213 of the Motor Vehicles Act, with challan action also implemented. Commissioner Singh emphasized that such incidents form a major focus of ongoing cordon and search operations, stating: "We are acting promptly on complaints as they are received, and cognizance is being taken in each case."
The resolution brings relief to Raj Nagar road residents who had endured weeks of sleep disruption. The case demonstrates how coordinated efforts between concerned citizens and responsive law enforcement can effectively address quality-of-life issues in residential communities.
