Legal Actions Against Dangerous Stunts Shared On Instagram Reels
Instagram's popularity is growing rapidly among people in India. Many individuals are keen on posting videos, including Instagram and YouTube Reels. As the number of viewers increases, so does the number of content creators, leading to intense competition. This has resulted in people posting videos with unique concepts.
Recently, the police arrested a youth for performing a dangerous stunt by standing on the roof of a car and posting it online. Activities like bike wheeling, car drifting, and car racing are occasionally seen in Tamil Nadu.
However, acts such as traveling while standing on a vehicle's roof are rare in Tamil Nadu but more common in North India.
The influence of Bollywood movies is a significant factor behind such acts. Many North Indian youths believe that standing on a vehicle's roof is cool, prompting them to imitate movie scenes.
In this context, the police arrested a youth who traveled on the roof of two Mahindra Thar vehicles on the National Highway.
Details of the Incident
The young man, identified as Ismail Chaudhry, has posted numerous videos and photos on his Instagram account featuring a Mahindra Thar vehicle.
One video shows him standing on the roof of two Mahindra Thar vehicles inside a tunnel on a national highway in Rajasthan.
Ismail Chaudhry performed this act thinking it would make an impressive reels video due to the dazzling lights inside the tunnel. He stood stylishly on top of the two Thar vehicles, driven slowly by two individuals, on a busy highway.
Police Action
The police investigated this video posted on 17th May and identified the vehicle owners through the number plates visible in the video. They subsequently arrested Ismail Chaudhry and seized the Mahindra Thar vehicles involved in the incident.
A picture circulating online shows Ismail Chaudhry sitting at the entrance of the police station, surrounded by officers. Jhalawar Police Officer Richa Tomar stated that they have started creating awareness to prevent such incidents.
Special Task Force
A special team has been set up under the supervision of Additional SP and Circle Officer, led by Kotwali Station Officer Chandrakjothi Sharma. This group aims to identify those involved in such activities through videos and photographs.
Previous Incidents
Mahindra Thar is a popular vehicle among those engaging in such acts. In 2022, an incident involving youngsters trying to drift a Mahindra Thar resulted in an overturned vehicle, causing significant concern.
DriveSpark think
It is crucial for all citizens to follow road traffic rules as such actions can endanger not only themselves but also other drivers. The trend of videotaping and posting these acts online is particularly worrying as it may encourage others to engage in similar activities.
