Officer Naveen Singh Blocks Footpath, Forcing Rule-Breaking Commuters to Make U-Turns in Viral Video

1 articles · Updated · MENAFN.COM · Jun 7

Summary

  • A viral video shows officer Naveen Singh stopping his bike at the end of a footpath, trapping commuters who had ridden onto the pavement to dodge traffic and forcing them to turn back.
  • The intervention came after Singh, riding along a busy route, saw multiple commuters using the footpath as a shortcut around a bottleneck instead of staying on the road.
  • Instagram users largely praised the tactic, calling Singh brave and applauding the on-the-spot enforcement, though some argued people complied only because a police officer was present.
  • The clip spread as a pointed example of informal traffic enforcement, highlighting frustration over routine pavement riding and weak adherence to road rules without direct policing.
