New Delhi: BJP MP and Bollywood actor Paresh Rawal today offered his apology to Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal and citizens of the national capital after he violated the ongoing odd-even scheme.

“Made a serious blunder... Sorry to Arvind ji and Delhiites,” the Bharatiya Janata Party MP tweeted.
Also, the actor was fined by the authorities for the violation. He also tweeted a copy of his challan.

The violation of the car-rationing scheme attracts a penalty of Rs 2,000. President, Prime Minister, Vice-President, union ministers Chief Justice of India, judges of high courts, women among others are exempted under it.
The Arvind Kejriwal led Delhi government had also announced a special DTC bus service for MPs to reach parliament that resumed its budget session from today.
