# Dipke mocks Gwalior police over 3,400 kiss marks fine 2026-08-26T22:40:46+00:00 | India | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 1 independent outlet Cockroach Janta Party founder Abhijeet Dipke has taken a sarcastic dig at Gwalior police after a man was fined Rs 5,500 for driving a car covered in 3,400 lipstick kiss marks. Dipke posted on X and Instagram that police should have put a sticker of rape convict Gurmeet Ram Rahim on the car instead. The incident in Gwalior saw car owner Aditya Sikarwar fined under the Motor Vehicles Act for modifying the vehicle. Sikarwar said his girlfriend created the marks as part of a foreign trend and social media stunt. Police also made him wipe off the lipstick marks from the car. Dipke's remark came on the same day Ram Rahim was temporarily released from Rohtak's Sunaria jail for the 17th time, granted a 21-day furlough. ## Indian Opinion Analysis The Gwalior police action under the Motor Vehicles Act targets visible vehicle modifications, which can include paint, stickers or decals that alter the original look. Under Section 52 of the Act, any change that departs from the manufacturer's specification requires prior approval from the registering authority. Sikarwar was fined for a modification that did not affect safety or emissions, raising questions of discretionary enforcement. Ram Rahim, serving a 20-year sentence for raping two disciples, has been granted regular furloughs since 2022 under Haryana's prison rules, which allow 21-day leave for good conduct. The juxtaposition of a minor traffic fine with a convicted rapist's release highlights the gap between strict enforcement on citizens and leniency for high-profile convicts. The Punjab and Haryana High Court is hearing a PIL challenging the repeated furloughs granted to Ram Rahim. The Gwalior police action under the Motor Vehicles Act targets visible vehicle modifications, which can include paint, stickers or decals that alter the original look. ## Coverage - hindustantimes.com Straight news report with no discernible slant, quotes Dipke's remark and states the facts of the Gwalior incident and Ram Rahim's release without editorialising.
