In this modern age of social media, several people often make risky decisions in an attempt to go viral. One such video showing a man performing a stunt while dangling from a speeding autorickshaw on Delhi’s Signature Bridge and hitting a cyclist has gone viral on social media platforms.
The viral video, captured on a helmet cam of a biker who was also plying on the bridge at the time, shows the man hitting a cyclist who falls to the ground.
After the video went viral, Delhi police swung into action and impounded the autorickshaw and slapped a hefty challan (fine) against the driver.
“The autorickshaw has been impounded and the driver, identified as Shiva, a resident of Ghaziabad in Uttar Pradesh, has been traced by the Delhi Traffic Police personnel,” the official said, adding that legal action against the driver has been initiated.
