An alarming sight of six young children riding a scooter on a busy road in Bengaluru has gone viral on the internet. It has sparked outrage and concern among netizens, with many demanding strict action against their parents. The pictures were shared on X recently by a user named Shreyas, who said he spotted the alarming scene while commuting to work. The images showed six underage children crammed onto one scooter, with none of them wearing helmets. The scooter appeared to be driven by a young boy, while five other children sat behind him, dangerously overcrowding the scooter. The post on X read, “This happened today 26/04/2026 morning at 10:45 am. Those kids illegally riding scooter No. KA05JZ9065 on location (Padarayanapura Main Road near Goripalya opposite of Total Engineer Auto Gas ) New Bridge.” The X user tagged Bengaluru City Police and Bengaluru Traffic Police in his post, asking them to take action against the parents.

Netizens react to the viral post.

One user reacted, “What the hell is this. Their parents should be in jail minimum for a week.” The Hetch Foundation wrote, “Underage riding is a serious violation and puts lives at risk. Authorities should take strict action.” Another expressed, “Arrest the parents and keep in jail for a week then everything will become set right…. Parents are the root cause, they want their child to behave beyond their age limits and this is the result of such thinking.”

Bhaskar Rao, former IPS and Commissioner of Police, Bangalore, also joined the conversation. Rao called for strict action to be taken against the parents of the children. He posted on X, “Dear Bengaluru Police, please take the strictest action both under MV Act and BNS against the owners or parents of these children in public interest to send a message to all.”
