The traffic police of Ghaziabad have also shared a copy of the challan.

The car is registered to Mrs Pushpa.

Ghaziabad police issued a challan worth Rs 62,000

Last year, Ghaziabad Police issued a challan of Rs 62,000 to three youngsters for driving dangerously on the roads. The challan came after a video of the incident became viral.

After the cops watched the video, Superintendent of Traffic, Ramanand Kushwaha said that the police noted down the registration numbers of the vehicles from the video. They tracked down the vehicles and issued multiple challans to the drivers of the three vehicles.

Video evidence-based challans

The cops are now using viral videos to issue challans. This is not the first such incident in Ghaziabad where the offenders were tracked using video footage. In the past, two girls doing stunts on Royal Enfield motorcycles and youths doing stunts on Maruti Suzuki Vitara Brezza received challan from the police on the basis of viral videos.

Doing any kind of stunts on public roads is illegal and the violators can even go to jail along with paying massive fines. Doing stunts on public roads can land you in a spot due to various reasons. If anyone wants to practice stunting or want to record videos, it should be done on private property such as race tracks and even farmhouses. Also, one should take note that such stunts are extremely dangerous.

Doing such stunts on the public roads is a sure-shot way to get a challan, especially today when every other person makes a video on their phones. Also, with the CCTV cameras on the roads, it is not a good idea to try out such stunts on public roads.
