VIP beacons are meant to signal the presence of public officials, and using them without approval violates government rules.

A vehicle belonging to Congress MP Rakibul Hussain was stopped by Meghalaya police on Thursday, November 13, near the Assam-Meghalaya border. The car, driven by the MP’s son, Tanzil Hussain, was found using a red VIP beacon even though the MP was not in the vehicle. The entire incident was caught on camera, and the video has now surfaced on the internet.

According to reports, the police intercepted the car during a routine check at Umling after noticing the flashing light being used without authorisation. VIP beacons are meant to signal the presence of public officials, and using them without approval violates government rules.

(Is Rakibul Hussain inside? Is the MP in the car? No? Then why did you switch on the light?).”

He further comments, “Aap log road pe apna aapko bahut bade top samjhte hai. Pura khandaan MP ho gaya hai kya? (You people think you are very important on the road. Has the entire family become MPs?).”
