# MSHRC Seeks Report on Pune Police Noise Drive Actions 2026-08-06T14:07:34+00:00 | Governance | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 1 independent outlet The Maharashtra State Human Rights Commission has taken suo motu notice of a viral video allegedly showing Pune Police punishing traffic violators during an anti-noise and anti-pollution drive. The footage reportedly shows officers making alleged offenders perform sit-ups, crushing modified motorcycle silencers with a road roller and sealing shops selling them. The commission said such actions could raise legal and human rights concerns because accused persons cannot be punished before investigation or trial. It has sought a preliminary report within one week from senior state and Pune police officials. The matter will be heard on 20 August 2026. The allegations remain unproven. ## Coverage - freepressjournal.in Tags: human rights, Maharashtra, MSHRC, noise pollution, Pune Police Canonical: https://indianopinion.org/mshrc-seeks-report-on-pune-police-noise-drive-actions/ License: Summary and commentary (c) Indian Opinion, reusable with attribution.
