Kerala: E Bull Jet van seized; vloggers arrested

The YouTubers claim that the MVD was just harassing them as they had modified their vehicle.

Kerala-based vloggers 'E Bull Jet' have had their modified Force Traveller seized by the Motor Vehicle Department (MVD).

Vloggers Ebin and Libin have a popular travel channel on YouTube and use their caravan to visit places. Recently, their Force Traveller, dubbed Napoleon, was repainted and customized with a few accessories, which is said to have caught the attention of the authorities.

Initially, the MVD seized the vehicle due to an expired camper permit. But it was later found that the permit was valid. The van was seized once again because of some alleged issue with the documents. However, the YouTubers claim that the MVD was just harassing them as they had modified their vehicle.

Having learned about their ordeals through social media, several of their followers gathered at the RTO in their support. The vloggers were taken into custody following the ruckus.

The Kerala MVD has been very strict when it comes to altering the specifications of cars and bikes. Earlier, an Isuzu V-Cross owner was slapped with a fine of Rs. 48,000 for modifying his vehicle.
