This is not the first time something like this has been reported in India. last month a YouTuber Nizamul Khan was arrested by cops for performing stunts on the roads of Noida. He was arrested from Noida sector 63. The YouTuber was performing stunts on his KTM Duke 250 motorcycle on public roads. The motorcycle was also seized by the cops. Earlier this month, Visakhapatnam police arrested over 40 youngsters who had gathered out in public road for drag races and stunts. The cops identified 96 youngsters involved in the incident and managed to arrest over 40. One of them even damaged a state transport corporation bus and even assaulted the bus driver.

Performing stunts on public roads is a punishable offence. By doing such stunts on public roads, you are not only risking your own life but also others. Anything can go wrong while performing such stunts. One can get seriously injured while doing such stunts and we have seen some reports related to such accidents online too. If you really want to perform stunts, then it is always a good idea to get it done inside a private property or a track. In such controlled environment, even if the vehicle goes out of control it won’t any other person on the road.
