Car stunt on republic day goes viral: Hyundai Creta, Verna, Honda City & Chevrolet Cruze seized

Performing stunts on public roads is a threat to the driver itself and other people who are driving on the road at that time. Here, is a video of four youth performing stunts on public roads. The video has been uploaded by Nagpurinfo on their Youtube channel. Traffic police of Nagpur have confiscated four vehicles whose drivers performed stunts on the recently constructed Wanjari Nagar elevated road. The police took an action when a video of youths performing stunts on the Republic Day got viral. They were driving recklessly, putting their and other lives at risk. Sarang Awad, DCP(traffic), in an interview with Times Of India, said that they were able to trace back the vehicles through the help of CCTV cameras that were installed nearby.

In the video, we can see the people standing through the sunroofs and performing stunts on the public roads. We can see a person standing through the sunroof of the Honda City at the beginning of the video. Then we see a white Verna which is coming at a very high speed, making what looks like a handbrake turn. The car first lost control and started going towards the left side and then suddenly turned towards the right side making a U-turn. Then we see a Blue Chevrolet Cruze in which a person is standing through the sunroof holding India’s flag. Then we see a Creta going at a high speed that just manages to not hit the Verna and filter between the City and the Verna. The Creta also looks like that it has been modified.
