A car covered with 3,400 lipstick marks was fined in Gwalior.

A car covered in around 3,400 lipstick kiss marks turned heads on the streets of Gwalior in Madhya Pradesh. But the quirky makeover soon landed its owner in trouble.

After pictures of the vehicle went viral on social media, traffic police tracked it down and issued a Rs 5,500 challan for violating traffic rules.

The car, owned by Aditya Sikarwar, became the centre of attention after its entire exterior was covered with lipstick marks resembling kisses. Photos of the vehicle quickly made their way across social media, prompting curiosity over the story behind its striking appearance.

Turns out, Sikarwar’s girlfriend was inspired by a foreign social media trend and decided to recreate it on the car. The thousands of lipstick prints were made one by one and took around four hours to complete.

The result was hard to miss. With kiss marks covering much of its exterior, the car stood out wherever it went, naturally drawing the attention of people on the road.

After the photographs surfaced online, police used the registration number visible in the pictures to trace the car and seized it.

The owner was subsequently called in and questioned about the vehicle. Traffic police then issued a Rs 5,500 challan for violation of rules.

Following the action, Aditya Sikarwar accepted his mistake. The lipstick marks were then removed from the car, with the vehicle being washed to restore its exterior.
