Reacting to the incident, a Twitter user said, “Yes, Inspector Sir is absolutely right as parents have no idea what their son is doing on roads until it becomes the news article of front page. So the fact is that the policeman on duty saved a life by impounding his vehicle. I feel parents must thank him for this.”

Another user wrote, “The intention of Police is appreciated. Great concern ! But, don't penalise him with huge monetary cost. That cost sometime is not more appropriately put in use for such good causes.”
