Pune: All may not have been lost for the performers and supporters of Jallikattu, the adventurous bull-taming sport, even after Supreme Court of India banned it on grounds of cruelty against animals. If things work out well, their experience of the sport might land them a lucrative deal. Faking News has reliable information that Pune traffic police are contemplating deploying Jallikattu players to tame the unruly bikers of the city.
“Easier to catch a bull than a Pune biker”: Pune traffic police easily got a hold on a bull.
ACP Ajay Kumar of the traffic department spoke exclusively to Faking News. He said, “Recent times have witnessed a massive increase in the vehicular traffic, thanks to the city’s illustrious public transport. With that, a number of additional problems have surfaced. Earlier bikers who jumped signals used to respond to policeman’s whistle and stop by the side of the road after seeing the policeman emerging out of nowhere. These rule violators would typically respond by saying, “Jaane do na saab, challan mat kato, settle kar lete hain na. Our cops would readily oblige with the noble intention of not wasting a challan and hence saving government money. But nowadays there has been a spurt in number of cases where the bikers pretend slowing down and then suddenly accelerate and run away smashing barricades and hurting a passer by or two. This has led to the cops losing out on their well deserved money. But we are not a force which can be intimidated by such aggression. We will soon have professionals to deal with such bikers”.
The traffic police department has already dispatched a team to Tamil Nadu to hold talks with a leading Jallikattu group. According to our sources, most concerns have been sorted out. Police force wants the group to dress in such way that they camouflage well with surroundings and are not spotted from a distance, very much the same way the traffic police themselves hide till someone jumps the signal. They are expected to pounce on the biker only if he tries to run away in a rash manner. The department plans to initially try the experiment on the busy Baner road which is used by most IT professionals who travel from the city area to the Hinjwadi IT park. Based on its success, it will later be extended to other parts of the city. The proposed program has however evoked sharp reactions from the possible victims of this plan. One college student who boasts of having been in police custody for flouting traffic rules and a scuffle with policeman spoke to FN on condition of anonymity. He said, “Intolerance is reaching new levels. What is the government trying to do? Something that the Supreme court has ruled as barbaric, inhumane and illegal in case of animals is being tried on humans. Our fundamental rights are being trampled. We plan to approach the Human Rights Commission”. The common Punekar was divided in his reaction to this plan. While some expressed hope, others believed that these unruly bikers are ten times more difficult to handle that the most powerful bulls found in parts of India where Jallikattu is played.
