Indore, October 4: A fine of Rs 1,500 was imposed on Indore's BJP Lok Sabha MP Shankar Lalwani for violation of the Motor Vehicle Act in bypoll-bound Khandwa on Monday, an official said.

"We saw a vehicle parked in Bombay Bazar, the main commercial area of Khandwa city, with a hooter and an extended nameplate which said 'Sansad Indore' (Indore Member of Parliament) on it. Putting up such a nameplate and hooter is a violation of Motor Vehicle Rules,” traffic sub-inspector Devendra Singh Parihar told PTI over phone. Massage Services On Trains: Indore BJP MP Shankar Lalwani Says It's 'Standardless' Against 'Indian Culture', Writes to Union Minister Piyush Goyal.
