Information regarding the fine amount would be sent to the mobile number of the owner of the vehicle concerned that was found violating the rule. 

The gadget would be used to capture photos of those riding motorcycles without helmet, triple riding and use of cellphone while driving. It would be deployed at various places within the city on rotation basis to identify the traffic rule violators and initiate action against them under the Motor Vehicles Act, a police press release said.
