Indian cricket team captain Rohit Sharma was issued two traffic violation challans entailing a cumulative fine of Rs 4,000 for overspeeding while driving a Lamborghini Urus on the Mumbai-Pune Expressway, a senior police official said on Thursday.

The incident took place on Tuesday and the fines, which were processed the next day, were paid, Highway Superintendent of Police Lata Phad said.

In the first instance, an auto camera installed on the expressway recorded the speed of his luxury car near Kamshet Tunnel at 117 kilometres per hour, much higher than the permissible limit of 105 kmph, said Sub Inspector Amol Powar.
