Actor Varun Dhawan has been sent an e-challan by the Mumbai police, as he was caught on a wrong foot while travelling on the roads of the city.

The actor was seen clicking a selfie with a woman in an auto while he was being driven in his car. The actor popped his head out of the window, and the woman also leaned towards him from the auto to get a picture clicked.

I appreciate step taken by #MumbaiPolice
Harsher step should be taken against those who breaks the rule. Unfortunately rule breakers are increasing day by day

People complain when police do not charge Celebrities and VIPs for their wrongdoings and when @MumbaiPolice is doing they are taking @Varun_dvn ‘s side. Strange. https://t.co/bHn4Dhq3nl
