We can note that there is a very young boy, around the age of 8–10, sitting on the bonnet.

Not the first incident

This above-shown reckless stunt is not the only time we have seen someone on the bonnet of a vehicle. Earlier in July of this year, a police driver was seen driving on the road with a petrol pump attendant on his hatchback’s bonnet. This incident was reported from the NKBT petrol pump in Talap, Kannur, Kerala.

What happened was that the police driver took his Maruti Suzuki Swift into the petrol pump and asked to fill the car with fuel worth Rs 2,100. However, after the fill-up, he only paid Rs 1,900 and was trying to leave. It was a petrol pump attendant who then stood in front of his car to prevent this man from escaping.

However, the 50-year-old driver, whose name is K. Santosh Kumar, a driver at the district headquarters of the Kannur police, did not stop the vehicle. It was noted that the employee of the pump then had to cling to the bonnet of this car. What was even more shocking was that the driver drove his car for more than a kilometer with the man on the bonnet.

Kannur City Police Commissioner Ajith Kumar mentioned that following this incident, the police driver Kumar was arrested and then suspended due to this action. Apart from this, he was charged with attempted murder. Also, it was reported that Kannur RTO even suspended the driving license of Kumar.
