The Central Crime Branch says it has booked 19 people during night patrols in Bengaluru for alleged wheelie riding, triple riding, riding without number plates and consuming alcohol in public places. The agency warned that patrols would continue and repeat offenders would face strict action.

The Central Crime Branch has booked 19 people in Bengaluru for alleged violations including wheelie riding, triple riding, riding without number plates and consuming alcohol in public places. The action was taken by the CCB’s Organised Crime Wing, East Division, and Narcotics Control Squad during night patrols across the city. The patrols are part of efforts to prevent activities that disturb public order or inconvenience residents.

According to the CCB, its teams identified people allegedly involved in several kinds of violations. These included riding motorcycles on one wheel at midnight, carrying three people on a vehicle, using vehicles without number plates and drinking alcohol in public areas. The source material does not provide the identities of those booked or specify the individual allegations made against each of the 19 people.

It also does not state what penalties or further legal steps have been initiated in the cases. The CCB said the patrols would continue across Bengaluru. The agency warned that strict action would be taken against activities that cause public nuisance or threaten peace and order in the city.

It also warned that repeat offenders would face action. The statement framed the night patrols as a continuing enforcement measure rather than a one-time operation. The CCB’s announcement focuses on alleged conduct identified during the patrols and does not indicate that the cases have been adjudicated.

The people booked remain subject to the relevant legal process.
