1, 2, 3...wait 24! Cops halt auto-rickshaw in Telangana with 24 passenger

What is the maximum number of passenger does an auto can carry? Take a wild guess...4, 5 or to a extend 7. Have you ever thought a single auto can carry 24 passengers? Yes, we are shocked too. 

A video from Telangana is going viral on social media that shows at least 24 people coming out the auto after the cops deboarded them for being overcrowded. 

Commissioner of Police Karimnagar tweeted the video to bring focus on the issue of road safety. “People should take care of their own safety. They shouldn’t board in overcrowded passenger autos unmindful of their safety,” read the caption of the post.
