Uttar Pradesh man modifies car into ‘chopper’, police seize vehicle: Here’s why
Two brothers in Ambedkar Nagar, Uttar Pradesh, embarked on the challenging project of turning a Maruti Suzuki Waggon R into a helicopter. But when the authorities intervened and seized their brainchild for breaking the Motor Act, their endeavour was abruptly put on hold. After a video of the car in police custody went viral on social media, many people commented on it.
The project’s creative brain, Ishwar Deen, put up more than Rs 2.5 lakh to pursue his goal. On the other hand, the authorities ordered him to remove the helicopter-shaped rotor that was welded to the car’s top.

A setback for the creative entrepreneur
On his way to a workshop to have his “car copter” painted, Ishwar, a resident of Khajuri Bazar, had an unfortunate event when he was stopped by a traffic inspector and fined for making unapproved modifications to his car. Police seized his unique design, which he was able to get back after paying a fee.
Ishwar’s customised automobile also has a helicopter tail rotor expertly soldered to the back of the car. He clarified that he made these striking changes in order to provide it as a distinctive mode of transportation for weddings and other special events, appealing to those looking for life-changing experiences.
“In order to provide our family with additional income during the wedding season, I had the automobile converted for booking purposes. The police demanded that the rear part of the automobile be removed and issued a challan for Rs 2,000. Ishwar said, “I worked day and night to make this car and invested Rs 2.5 lakh.”
Why did this guy turn his automobile into a “chopper”?
The guy went on to say that his “rath,” or chariot, was not meant to be driven on public roadways outside of the wedding season. Additionally, he said that similar cars were in use in other areas,, including Pratapgarh and Bihar.
Why was the automobile taken by the police?
The main justification given by the police for seizing the car was safety concerns. According to the police, the vehicle had been altered without the required permissions under the Motor Vehicles Act. We have seized a customised vehicle. Cops have been conducting vehicle checks as a result of the Model Code of Conduct’s implementation, and following one of these inspections, traffic cops stopped this customised automobile. The car was impounded in accordance with Section 207 of the Motor Vehicles Act, and modifications need approval from the RTO department. An additional investigation is being conducted,” Assistant Superintendent of Police Vishal Pandey said.
