The Mumbai traffic police have taken action on as many as 23,332 bike riders and 32,956 pillion riders in just 10 days as part of their drive against helmetless bikers. The Mumbai police commissioner had earlier this month passed an order to penalise pillion riders as well, if found riding without a helmet. 

A police official said, "following the orders, Mumbai police have been conducting regular checks at prominent spots in the city and have been penalising the violators."
