Viral video shows 24 people in an autorickshaw in Telangana
How many passengers can fit inside one autorickshaw? If you take a wild guess or suggest a ballpark figure, the most bizarre number you would suggest might not cross 10.
But a video, which is going viral on the internet, is here to prove you wrong. A bizarre video from the town of Bhongir in Telangana has gone viral on Twitter and it shows 24 women and children stuffed inside an autorickshaw.
The video was shared on Twitter by India Today television's Aashish Pandey with the caption, "How many passengers an auto can fill any guess? Alertizen found 24 passengers, all women and children travelling in an Auto in Bhongir. (Motor Vehicles Bill 2019 asks for a fine of Rs 1000/Extra passenger in case of overloading)."

so careless!!!
Though the video seems quite funny, in such situations of overloading there is a high chance of people getting into an accident.
Earlier this month, 15 labourers died in Mahabubnagar, when an overloaded auto in which they were travelling in, was hit by a speeding truck.
