What is the maximum number of passenger does an auto can carry? Take a wild guess...4, 5 or to a extend 7. Have you ever thought a single auto can carry 24 passengers? Yes, we are shocked too. 

A video from Telangana is going viral on social media that shows at least 24 people coming out the auto after the cops deboarded them for being overcrowded. 

Commissioner of Police Karimnagar tweeted the video to bring focus on the issue of road safety. “People should take care of their own safety. They shouldn’t board in overcrowded passenger autos unmindful of their safety,” read the caption of the post.

The 2:09 minute-long video currently has over 16,400 views, close to 1,000 likes and over 370 retweets. 

Different reactions are pouring-in over the video. While some discussed the issue of road safety, many joked such sights can only be seen in India
