Bengaluru Police Seize Luxury Car Following Viral Stunt Video
In a swift response to a viral social media video, Bengaluru traffic police have seized a luxury sports car involved in dangerous drifting maneuvers. The incident, which has raised significant public safety concerns, occurred in the early hours of the morning at Anil Kumble Circle.
Details of the Incident and Police Action
The video, widely circulated on platforms like X (formerly Twitter), captured the high-performance vehicle performing reckless drifts and high-speed turns between 2 am and 3 am. Authorities reported that some occupants were seen standing out of the sunroof, screaming during the stunt, further endangering themselves and others.
On Saturday, police registered a First Information Report (FIR) against the car's owner under sections related to rash and negligent driving, as well as endangering human life. A senior police officer stated, "Efforts are being taken to trace those involved in the act," emphasizing the seriousness of the offense.
Investigation and Key Suspect
Officials have served notice to Ricky Rai, son of the late underworld operative Muthappa Rai, to appear for questioning, as the vehicle was traced to his residence. However, police sources clarified that there is no clarity yet on who owns the car or whether Rai was driving during the stunt. Further inquiries and verifications are ongoing to determine accountability.
The case highlights the growing issue of dangerous driving stunts being shared on social media, prompting law enforcement to take stringent actions to curb such behavior and ensure public safety on Bengaluru's roads.
