A motorist travelling at 101 kmph on the Yamuna Expressway received a Rs 2,000 e-challan for exceeding the speed limit by just 1 kmph. However, the challan came with an unusual detail: the vehicle's location was recorded as 0 degrees North, 0 degrees East, placing it in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean rather than on the expressway.

Anujeet Shivam shared a photograph of the challan on X on November 12, pointing out the location mismatch and tagging the Noida Traffic Police and Uttar Pradesh Traffic Police.

According to the e-challan shared by Shivam, his car was recorded travelling at 101 kmph on the Yamuna Expressway, where the speed limit is 100 kmph. A fine of Rs 2,000 was subsequently issued.

However, the location details on the challan showed coordinates of 0 degrees north latitude and 0 degrees east longitude. These coordinates point to a location in the Atlantic Ocean, off the west coast of Africa.

In his post, Shivam wrote: "Got a Rs 2,000 challan on the Yamuna Expressway. My speed: 101 km/h Limit: 100 km/h 1 km/h. That's it. Bonus: the speed gun logged my location as 0 degrees North, 0 degrees East. That's the middle of the Atlantic Ocean."

Noida Traffic Police Responds To Complaint

Responding to the post, Noida Traffic Police directed Shivam to get in touch with the e-challan helpline 7065060882. DCP Traffic Syed Ali Abbas stated that the issue would be looked into. 

The probe is likely to determine why the location mentioned in the challan didn't match the Yamuna Expressway. The error has also led to concerns about the correctness of location details in the e-challan.
