Following a flood of citizen complaints, the Pimpri Chinchwad Police Commissionerate's traffic division has launched a major crackdown on unauthorised vehicle modifications—specifically targeting Bullet motorcycles with illegally fitted, noise-polluting exhaust mufflers (colloquially referred to as silencers) that produce deafening sounds and disrupt public peace.

Senior police officers stated that between January 1 and April 10, 2025, the traffic police registered 4853 cases against motorists for tampering with their vehicles in violation of traffic norms. A total of Rs 48.49 lakh in fines was collected from violators during this period.
