Viral Video Shows Noida Man Performing Dangerous Car Stunt, Police Slap Rs 57,500 Fine​


The video begins with the Baleno car speeding down the main road, with another vehicle recording the scene.​


A man's attempt to show off his driving skill on the streets of Greater Noida has gone viral on social media. The video shows a Maruti Suzuki Baleno car performing dangerous stunts at high speed, catching the attention of the traffic police.

The video begins with the Baleno car speeding down the main road, with another vehicle recording the scene. The car suddenly swerves, drifts at high speed, and comes to a stop on the side of the road. In the next scene, the same car performs the same stunt again and comes to a sudden halt in front of a residential society.

The video initially appears to be a typical stunt video, but the ending takes an unexpected twist. The last part of the video shows a picture of a challan issued by the Noida Traffic Police, showing a fine of Rs 57,500. This fine was imposed for reckless and dangerous driving.

The video was shared on the social media platform X, with the caption, "A boy performed car stunts on the roads of Greater Noida. Noida Traffic Police took action and imposed a fine of Rs 57,500. Good work, Noida traffic police."

https://twitter.com/x/status/1976666223053337072


Noida Traffic Police confirmed the incident by posting it on their X handle, writing, "Taking cognisance of the said complaint, action has been taken to issue an e-challan (fine of Rs 57,500/-) in accordance with the rules against the concerned vehicle for violation of traffic rules."

Social Media Reaction​

The video has since gone viral, sparking conversations about responsible driving and the consequences of reckless behavior behind the wheel. One user called it "a costly stunt."

Another user wrote, "This is a daily thing for them. I see drivers like this around the Alpha 2 market every day. I'm honestly stunned at how traffic rules are treated like a joke in Greater Noida. I think it's the same problem throughout UP. I used to live in Bangalore, and I never saw such rash driving there. While this is mainly a civilian issue, what about the policing?"

"No fine, you should seize the vehicle and beat them with sticks and upload the video on social media, only then will they learn a lesson," commented a third user.

'Soil Blocked Nose and Mouth, Burn Marks on Thigh': What Post-Mortem Reveals in Delhi Biker’s Pit Fall Death​


The post-mortem report of Kamal Dhyani, who died after falling into an unguarded pit in Janakpuri, indicates traumatic asphyxia as the cause of death, attributed to chest compression from a heavy vehicle.​


New Delhi: The post-mortem report in theJanakpuri pit fall case that claimed the life of 25-year-old Kamal Dhyani has revealed that he died due to suffocation and traumatic asphyxia, doctors said. According to medical findings, the cause of death has been identified as traumatic asphyxia due to heavy compression of the chest. Doctors said the victim is believed to have fallen into a soil pit along with his motorcycle, after which loose soil blocked his mouth and nostrils, leading to suffocation.

What Post-mortem Report Reveals​

The post-mortem report further said the chest compression was likely caused by a heavy vehicle falling or pressing onto the victim after the fall. This pressure on the chest is believed to have restricted breathing, resulting in death.

The post-mortem examination also revealed burn marks on the victim’s right thigh. Doctors said these marks may have been caused due to prolonged contact with a vehicle’s silencer after death.


At this stage, doctors have stated that the death appears to be accidental. However, they added that the final opinion on the exact time and manner of death will be given only after a detailed investigation and further examination of all evidence.

Police said they are continuing to probe the incident and are examining all aspects of the case to establish the sequence of events that led to the fatal accident.

What Happened that Night​

The incident took place after midnight in the early hours of Friday, when Dhyani was riding his motorcycle home and fell into a 4.2-feet-deep pit dug for construction work. The pit was reportedly left open and unguarded as part of Delhi Jal Board-related construction activity.

According to police, Dhyani remained trapped inside the pit for several hours. He was later found dead, triggering public outrage and demands for accountability over unsafe road conditions.

Eyewitness Saw the Fall​

During the investigation, police identified an eyewitness who had seen the accident take place. DCP West Sharad Bhaskar said Vipin Singh witnessed a motorcycle fall into the pothole and immediately informed a guard at the site. The guard then passed on the information to a contractor’s worker named Yogesh.
Police said Yogesh went to the spot and saw both the victim and the motorcycle, with the headlight still switched on. Despite this, no emergency services were called.
According to the police timeline, Yogesh informed his supervisor, contractor Rajesh Prajapati, at around 12:22 am. However, neither of them alerted the police, ambulance services, or local authorities.
Meanwhile, subcontractor Rajesh Prajapati has been arrested in connection with the death of Kamal Dhyani, while worker Yogesh has fled the scene. Explaining the findings, DCP Bhaskar said the investigation clearly shows negligence after the accident was known.
The incident occurred near the B3B Block in Janakpuri, close to Andhra School, on Professor Jogender Singh Marg on February 5.
According to the FIR, no warning signs, reflectors, barricades or proper lighting arrangements were present at the site, and no security guard had been deployed. The FIR states that the pit was left open in the middle of a public road without any safety measures.
When police reached the spot, they found an unidentified man along with his motorcycle lying inside a pit measuring about 20 feet in length, 13 feet in width and around 14 feet in depth. The pit had been dug in the middle of the road as part of road work.

The injured man was pulled out of the pit by the fire brigade and taken to Deen Dayal Upadhyay Hospital in a PCR vehicle. However, the hospital later informed the police that “the patient brought by PCR has been declared dead.”
Quoting the medical report, the FIR stated, “Patient was brought to ER in an unconscious and unresponsive state with an alleged history of being found roadside near Joginder Singh Marg at around 08:00 am. Injury details include a grazed abrasion over the epigastric region, and the patient was brought in dead.”

'He Knew and Did Nothing': Sub-Contractor Who Visited Delhi Biker Death Pit at Night Arrested​


Delhi Biker Death: Delhi Police arrested sub-contractor Rajesh Prajapati on Saturday, February 7, following allegations of negligence after a biker fell into an open pit in the Janakpuri area.​



Delhi Biker Death: Delhi Police arrested sub-contractor Rajesh Prajapati on Saturday, February 7, following allegations of negligence after a biker fell into an open pit in Janakpuri. Police said Prajapati visited the site after being informed of the accident but did not take any action. The incident occurred on Thursday night when the victim, Kamal Dhyani, was returning home to celebrate his parents’ anniversary. The pit, allegedly dug by the Delhi Jal Board for road construction, was uncovered and unmarked. The victim’s friend claimed the area had since been covered to “hide their misdeeds.”

'Rajesh Came at Night, Ignored': Police​

According to police, a family passing through the area noticed Kamal had fallen into the pit. They immediately informed a security guard stationed there and a person living in a nearby tent. The guard, employed by Prajapati, informed a junior staff member, who then called Rajesh Prajapati at 12:22 am. Although Prajapati reached the site, he reportedly ignored the situation, seeing only the bike and taking no further action.

Altaf Alam, a friend of Kamal, told ANI, "We have been together since childhood. He worked in Rohini Sector 10. The pit was open, and they covered it yesterday to hide their misdeeds. I miss him even more every time I look at his twin brother. All arrangements were made to celebrate his parents’ anniversary."


The FIR notes that the site had no warning signs, reflectors, barricades, or proper lighting, making it extremely dangerous. The pit, located near B3B Block, Janakpuri, close to Andhra School on Professor Jogender Singh Marg, measured approximately 20 feet long, 13 feet wide, and 14 feet deep. Police said the victim was pulled out with the help of the fire brigade and taken to Deen Dayal Upadhyay Hospital, but he was declared dead on arrival.

Delhi Minister's Response​


Delhi Home Minister Ashish Sood said on Saturday, "All departments conducted a joint inspection. We have directed responsible officers to ensure smooth roads with minimal public inconvenience. Officers involved in this incident have been suspended. The FIR has been registered, and the investigation is underway. We will not spare anyone responsible. The Chief Minister is monitoring the situation."
Meanwhile, AAP Delhi president Saurabh Bharadwaj demanded the suspension of Police Commissioner Satish Golchha, alleging a police cover-up in the case.

6 Bengaluru Students Sneak Out For Joyride, None Survive Horrific Crash​


The tragedy occurred on the Hoskote-Dabaspete National Highway when a speeding Mahindra XUV 700, with a group of students on an early morning joyride, triggered a chain collision involving a motorcycle and a Canter truck.


Bengaluru:
Seven people, including six school students, were killed in a horrific multi-vehicle accident early Friday morning near M Sathyavara village in Bengaluru Rural district.

The tragedy occurred on the Hoskote-Dabaspete National Highway when a speeding Mahindra XUV 700, with a group of students on an early morning joyride, triggered a chain collision involving a motorcycle and a Canter truck.

The identities of six of the victims have been confirmed as Ashwin Nayar (17), Arhaan Sharif (17), Ayaan Ali (17), Bharat (18), Ethan George (17), and the bike rider, Gagan, a private company employee.

The seventh victim is yet to be identified. The students, aged between 17 and 18, were in Classes 10 and 12.

Gagan, the motorcyclist, was returning home after finishing his 5 pm-3 am shift at work when he was struck. His family revealed a heartbreaking story of loss. Gagan was the sole breadwinner for his mother, who is visually impaired.

Latest and Breaking News on NDTV

According to preliminary police reports, the students had left home around 3 am for a joyride without informing their families. Travelling from Kolar toward Devanahalli, the speeding SUV first rear-ended Gagan's motorcycle.

The driver allegedly lost control of the XUV 700 following the initial impact, causing the vehicle to ram into a Canter truck. The force of the collision was so extreme that the truck and the bike were flung over the median onto the opposite side of the highway, while the mangled SUV skidded nearly 500 metres before coming to a halt.

Latest and Breaking News on NDTV

Ashwin Nayar, a resident of Kothanur, was studying at RV PU College. Arhaan Sharif and Ayaan Ali were students of CMR Institute and residents of HVR Layout. Bharat was also a student at CMR Institute and a resident of Frazer Town. Ethan George was studying at RV College and was a resident of Hulimavu.

Initially, the parents were informed that their children had been seriously injured in the accident. However, when they arrived at the hospital, they learned about the deaths and were left inconsolable. Family members of Arhaan Sharif said that he did not even know how to ride a bike, forget about driving a car. "He left home and never returned," they said.

At the Hoskote government hospital, scenes of absolute grief unfolded as parents arrived. Many were initially told their children were only "seriously injured."

"He left home and never returned," said family members of Arhaan Sharif. Shocked by the reports of the joyride, they claimed Arhaan did not even know how to ride a motorcycle, let alone drive a high-end SUV.

IGP (Central) Labhu Ram and Bengaluru Rural Superintendent of Police Chandrakant visited the site to oversee the investigation.

"Seven people were killed in a chain road accident. We have cleared the vehicles and shifted the bodies to the hospital," IGP Labhu Ram said. "The investigation is on to determine if the driver was in an inebriated state. We cannot confirm that at this stage."

While overspeeding is currently cited as the primary cause, the Sulibele police have initiated a full probe into the mishap. The bodies have been sent for post-mortem examination.

2 Injured As MLA's Son Rams Audi Into 2 Cars, Attacks Man Driving One Of Them​


The student has been identified as Yuvraj, son of former Rajasthan minister Rajkumar Sharma​



Jaipur:
An Audi rashly driven by a school student rammed two cars in Jaipur on Tuesday, the police said. The underage driver told the police he is the son of Congress MLA Rajkumar Sharma, and allegedly turned aggressive toward the driver of the car that he rammed, according to the first information report (FIR).

The Audi hit a Maruti Swift and pushed the smaller car on a divider. Pulkit Pareek and his friend who were in the Swift were injured. Pareek filed the FIR.

Pareek told NDTV he was carrying blood from a blood bank for his brother-in-law when suddenly, near Maharana Pratap Circle, the Audi came speeding at around 150 kmph from behind and hit his vehicle. After the collision, his car crashed into a platform built over a divider.

Pareek said his friend who was in his car was also injured. Pareek himself received seven stitches on his head. Both were discharged from a hospital after receiving treatment

He alleged the underage Audi driver threatened them, saying he was the son of an MLA and told them to "take some money and get your car repaired."

Pareek said the police have called him to the station tomorrow to record his statement. He demanded strict action be taken against the offender.

Pareek in the FIR alleged that when they came out of the Swift after the Audi rammed it, they found the driver to be very young, about 15-16 years old. The teen allegedly became aggressive and tried to assault him, Pareek said.

The Audi's airbags deployed after hitting the two cars.

One of the cars damaged by the Audi left the scene and its driver did not file a complaint, the police said.

After driving a short distance, the occupants allegedly pulled the child inside the car and later admitted him to a Community Health Centre (CHC).

The CHC staff informed the police after which the child was found. The child has suffered head and body injuries and is undergoing treatment.

The child's mother and uncle are being treated at the district hospital in Sidhi. All three are reportedly stable.

District Superintendent of Police Sujit Kumar Kadwe condemned the driver's "negligence", calling it a "disgrace to humanity."

A case has been registered, and police are still searching for the Scorpio and its driver.

Mumbai Plans to Fix Andheri Subway’s ‘Famous Floods’ with Flyover – Check Updates So Far​


The Andheri subway in Mumbai floods every monsoon, disrupting traffic and daily life. BMC is studying a flyover solution after scrapping a Rs 209 crore stormwater drain plan.​


Mumbai Andheri Subway Makeover: Every monsoon, people in Andheri face the same problem - the Andheri subway floods, and daily life comes to a halt. Office-goers are stuck, ambulances struggle to pass, and traffic backs up across large parts of the western suburbs. Now, the civic body is trying to find a long-term solution. Officials hope that this new plan will finally give locals relief from a problem they have lived with for years. The Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) has appointed a consultant to study whether a flyover can be built above the Andheri subway, according to a media report. The consultant has been given three months to submit a report.

What Triggers​

The flooding happens mainly because of Mogra nullah, a drain that runs close to the subway. Rainwater from a stretch of about 2.5 kilometres flows into this drain. There is a steep drop of around 13 metres, so when there is heavy rain, the water rushes down very fast.


The problem becomes worse during high tide. When the sea level rises, water in the drain also rises and has nowhere to go. As a result, the subway and nearby areas like Azad Nagar get flooded. Authorities then shut the subway for safety, which causes massive traffic jams.

To stop this from happening every year, the BMC is considering building a flyover over the subway, according to The Times of India. The feasibility study will look at:
  • Whether a flyover can actually be built there
  • How long it would be
  • The technical difficulties involved
  • How much it would cost
  • What benefits it would bring
  • What permissions are needed, including from railway authorities

If the study shows the flyover is possible, all other plans to fix the flooding will be dropped, and the flyover project will move ahead.

Rs 209 Crore Plan Scrapped​

Earlier, the BMC had planned to build a new stormwater drain costing Rs 209 crore to divert water from Mogra nullah. But engineers feared that even after spending this money, the subway might still flood. Because of this risk, the plan was put on hold.

The Andheri Subway is one of the most important east–west roads in Mumbai’s western suburbs. It is close to Gokhale Bridge and Andheri railway station, and it passes under the railway tracks. When it shuts during the monsoon, the effect is felt across the city, not just in Andheri.

Bengaluru Student, 20, On Scooty Run Over While Trying To Avoid Pothole​


A tipper lorry, coming from behind, ran over her, killing her on the spot. The impact was so severe that the victim's head was crushed under the wheels​



Bengaluru:
In yet another pothole-related incident in Bengaluru, a 20-year-old student was killed after she came under the wheels of a tipper truck while trying to avoid a pothole in North Bengaluru's Avalahalli area on Monday.

The second-year B.Com student, identified as Dhanushree, was travelling to her college on a two-wheeler when she lost balance and fell onto the road after abruptly changing direction in an attempt to avoid a pothole near Budigere Cross. A tipper lorry, coming from behind, ran over her, killing her on the spot. The impact was so severe that the victim's head was crushed under the wheels, news agency IANS reported.

A hit-and-run case has been registered by the Avalahalli police, who are currently trying to catch the accused lorry driver, who fled without stopping after the accident. Meanwhile, the KR Puram Traffic Police, which oversees the Budigere road area, is also investigating the case.

The body of the student has been shifted to a private hospital.

This incident comes against the backdrop of a 30-day official deadline to fill all the potholes across every road in the city.

Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah on August 27 said he has given 30 days' time to officials to make all the roads in the city motorable, with potholes filled.

The Chief Minister, who went on "city rounds", inspected the condition of roads and ongoing work to fix potholes.

"I have given instructions to fill potholes and to maintain quality in the work. I have suspended an assistant executive engineer as he had left a pothole just by filling gravel without putting tar or wet mix.

Contractors have to maintain the roads for which white topping is being done. White topping is being done for Hennur road, for which Rs 13 crore per km is being spent; it is a 5 km road project," Siddaramiah said.

He warned that the Commissioners and Chief Engineers of the five city corporations will be held responsible in case of any lapses.

The outrage against the condition of roads gained momentum following online trucking platform BlackBuck's decision to move the company out of its current location at Bellandur on Bengaluru's Outer Ring Road (ORR), citing commuting and road infrastructure issues.

Several prominent people, including IT veterans like former Infosys CFO Mohandas Pai and Biocon Chairperson Kiran Mazumdar-Shaw, have recently urged the state government to immediately intervene.

Stating that one cannot deny the pothole issue, the Chief Minister, while responding to a question, had said, "I don't want to blame the BJP, but they did not fill the potholes while in power; if they had done it, such a situation wouldn't have arisen. They didn't even release any funds for the maintenance of roads...leave it, we are in power now, we will ensure that the potholes are filled."

A key airport access route used by thousands of residents living in Whitefield, KR Puram, and Hoskote, Budigere Cross road has often drawn widespread criticism due to its dilapidated condition. It is considered one of the most time-efficient routes to reach the Kempegowda International Airport. However, its current state - with potholes filled with soil and jelly stones scattered across the stretch, making commuting particularly dangerous for two-wheeler riders.

Drunk Driver Goes On Rampage In Tamil Nadu, Rams Shops, Vehicles​

Ramanathapuram:
A man, allegedly under the influence of alcohol, drove his car recklessly outside a bus terminus in Tamil Nadu's Ramanathapuram district on Monday, injuring one person and damaging roadside shops and several vehicles.

A video of the incident, which NDTV cannot independently verify, shows the car reversing at speed before ramming into a parked car outside the Kamudhi bus terminus. The vehicle then appears to reverse again and surge forward, hitting a two-wheeler. In the visuals, a few two-wheelers are seen fallen on the road amid chaos.

As the car gets stuck after the repeated collisions, onlookers surround the vehicle and thrash the driver before the police intervene. The situation was later brought under control. Police said the accused has been arrested and an investigation is underway.

According to the police, one man sustained injuries in the incident and is being treated at a local hospital. The extent of damage to roadside shops and vehicles is being assessed.


"The driver, identified as Nagavadivelan, has been arrested. He owns the car and runs a JCB firm." On the possible motive, the officer added, "There was an issue over bikes being parked on his way. We are investigating," a police officer said.

Preliminary inquiries suggest a dispute over vehicles allegedly blocking the accused's path may have triggered the incident.
