Two brothers from Uttar Pradesh's Ambedkar Nagar converted an old Maruti Suzuki Wagon R into a helicopter. However, their modified vehicle was seized by the traffic police when they spotted it near the Akbarpur bus stand.
The brothers - Ishwardeen and Parmeshwardeen - customised the vehicle to provide a unique experience for weddings, offering stylish transportation for brides and grooms while boosting their family's earnings.
While on their way to get the modified vehicle painted, the police caught them during a routine inspection.
A video of the vehicle depicts the helicopter's rotor blade welded onto the car's roof, while the tail boom is attached to the boot of the car.
According to the police, the vehicle was seized for not adhering to transportation rules, specifically for undergoing modifications without proper authorisation from the relevant authorities. However, the police later released the vehicle after a fine was paid.
Assistant Superintendent of Police Vishal Pandey said, "Due to the enforcement of the Model Code of Conduct, there have been continuous vehicle checks by the police. During one such inspection, a modified car was intercepted by the traffic police. Since modifications require permission from the RTO department, the vehicle was seized under Section 207 of the Motor Vehicles Act. Further investigation into other aspects is underway."
