A group of men in Bengaluru have been apprehended by the city police after a video of their reckless driving and dangerous stunts went viral on social media. The video, captured by another driver, shows the group of young men on separate motorbikes performing maneuvers that flagrantly disregard road safety regulations. They are seen cutting lanes, riding without helmets, and engaging in aggressive behavior towards other drivers, including kicking the door of a car and aggressively gesturing at its driver.
Bengaluru Police, in a tweet on the microblogging platform ‘X,’ shared the video accompanied by the caption, “Thrills on the roads can quickly turn into chills at the station! Stunts belong in movies, not on our streets!” The video showcases the police’s response, using the popular ‘A Few Moments Later’ meme to highlight the arrest of the bikers.
The police have confirmed that they have taken action against the individuals involved. The incident has sparked a wave of reactions on social media, with many condemning the bikers’ reckless behavior and praising the police for their swift response. Some users humorously suggested that the person who filmed the video should be rewarded for bringing the crime to light. Others highlighted the pervasive issue of such reckless driving behavior, with one user describing similar incidents within their neighborhood. Several users questioned the length of the bikers’ potential punishment, arguing for stricter consequences, such as license revocation.
This incident serves as a stark reminder of the dangers posed by reckless driving and the importance of adhering to road safety regulations. The swift action taken by Bengaluru Police demonstrates their commitment to ensuring public safety and deterring such dangerous behavior.
