A 24-year-old man was arrested by the Bandra-Kurla Complex (BKC) police for allegedly performing dangerous stunts with his bike on the road in which he was seen riding his bike on one wheel along with two girls seated with him. The video of the incident had gone viral on social media after which the police booked a case under the Motor Vehicle Act (MVA) and launched a city-wide hunt to arrest the accused.
According to the police, the man who has been identified as Faiyyaz Qadri, is a resident of Antop Hill. The video shows him performing a 'wheelie' stunt on a bike while one of the girls can be seen sitting in front of him and facing towards him while the other can be seen riding a pillion. Moreover, the biker was not even wearing a helmet while he was performing the stunt in the middle of the road with other vehicles passing by.
The video went viral and was tagged on the Mumbai police handle following which the police registered a case and began investigating the matter. During the investigation, the police found that there were previous police records against the suspect in Antop Hill and Wadala TT Police stations and they began to trace him using technical information and sources. The accused, who kept changing his location constantly, was finally arrested from Sakinaka on Sunday.
"We got information that the accused will be visiting Sakinaka in Andheri, following which we reached the location and nabbed him," an official said. The accused has been booked under relevant sections of the IPC and Motor Vehicle Act, while further investigation is underway.
