While she won praise from her followers, some had this question to ask. " Good job, but where is the helmet?"

Neither Bedi nor the woman riding the two-wheeler was wearing a helmet. Following the surprise night round, Bedi said, "Found Puducherry reasonably safe at night. But will be improved."

There were a barrage of tweets asking Bedi about the helmet. Respected ‪@thekiranbedi‬ Ma'am, My humble request to the rider and you to wear a helmet.Your safety is also important.

She however insisted that not wearing a helmet was a conscious choice. Both wanted to appear vulnerable and wanted to see how we women driving a scooty at night are looked at," she said.
