Bangalore Police say it is illegal to use headphones while driving or riding. Even putting earphones under the helmet is illegal. Likewise, if you place a smartphone under the helmet you will be issued a challan by the police.
However, people travelling in cars can listen to music through their car's music system. Nevertheless, both car drivers and two-wheeler riders are prohibited from using headphones.
