Varun Dhawan’s selfie with a fan has brought him on the wrong side of the law. The star was reprimanded by Mumbai Police for ignoring traffic rules just to take a selfie with a fan. When Mumbai Police learnt about the incident, they took to Twitter to call out Varun Dhawan for his little ‘adventure’ in the middle of the road. The official Twitter handle of the Mumbai police department also said they are sending an E-challan to his home.

Here’s what happened:

A fan, who was in an auto, was flabbergasted to see Varun Dhawan stuck in traffic with her and so, she, like any excited fan, tried to take a selfie. Varun, being the polite gentleman, happily obliged. Without caring much about the road safety, the Judwaa 2 leaned outside his car and clicked a selfie. When the incident caught Mumbai Police’s attention, they immediately took to Twitter to discipline Varun.

Here is what the Mumbai police tweeted:

After the tweet, Varun Dhawan was quick to apologise and say he would follow rules the next time. He tweeted:

My apologies Our cars weren’t moving since we were at a traffic signal and I didn’t want to hurt the sentiment of a fan but next time I’ll keep safety in mind and won’t encourage this. https://t.co/MEJk56EksG
