A viral video on social media appears to show Uttarakhand Police seizing a motorcycle fitted with over 100 horns during the ongoing Kanwar Yatra. The footage, reportedly filmed by a passerby, shows a police officer riding the modified bike to a police station for investigation. Hindustan Times and Times Now report that neither the seizure nor the exact number of horns could be independently verified from the video.

The unusual modification has sparked online debate, particularly about noise pollution during religious processions. Meanwhile, in a separate incident in Meerut, a youth was detained for flying an unauthorised drone at an event where Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath was present, according to PTI. Police said a government drone was operating with permission while the second was not.
Social media loves a spectacle, but this video's claim of '100 horns' is unverified and the seizure itself is unconfirmed. The real issue is whether traffic and noise rules apply equally during religious gatherings or are waived in the name of devotion. The Kanwar Yatra sees massive crowds; enforcement of even basic norms is patchy. Will the Uttarakhand Police release the actual horn count and the owner's challan? That will settle whether this is fair policing or just a PR stunt.
