Bengaluru: City traffic police registered 8326 cases on Wednesday against vehicle drivers for various traffic rules violations.

It is a new record in terms of number of cases registered.

According to the additional commissioner of police (traffic) BR Ravikanthe Gowda, Rs.43.06 lakh was collected as fine for the rule violations.
