Police have seized a white Maruti Swift automobile that drew widespread attention on social media after being covered with more than 3,400 lipstick kiss marks. The vehicle garnered further scrutiny when a video emerged showing it being driven at excessive speed on city roads, prompting law enforcement to take action.
The case was registered at a local police station, where the vehicle's owner faced the unusual task of removing the lipstick marks from the car's surface at the station premises. The incident highlights growing concerns among traffic authorities about vehicles being modified or decorated in ways that may distract drivers or constitute public nuisance.
Details surrounding the vehicle's initial coverage in kiss marks remain unclear, though the social media video that followed prompted rapid police response. The impoundment of the vehicle underscores enforcement efforts to maintain road safety and regulate unconventional vehicle modifications in the region.
The case has sparked online discussion about road safety and the responsibilities of vehicle owners in maintaining appropriate standards while operating motor vehicles on public roads.
