Bengaluru: A man was arrested on Tuesday for riding his high-end bike up to a speed of almost 300 km per hour on a flyover here during the ongoing lockdown, police said.
After a selfie video of the man’s reckless ride went viral on social media, police arrested him for putting his life and that of others at risk and seized his 1000 CC bike.
Identified by police as Muniyappa, he rode his bike on the nearly 10-km long Electronic City flyover, accelerating almost to 300 KMPH as he whizzed past some vehicles, including cars autorickshaws and trucks that were moving in both directions.
“This video made viral by the rider…going at a dangerous speed of almost 300 km at Ecity flyover putting his own & others life at risk..CCB traced the rider & seized bike Yamaha 1000 CC.. handed over to traffic (police),”
Bengaluru Joint Commissioner of Police Sandeep Patil tweeted, tagging the video.
“A case of reckless driving has been registered against him,” police said.
They said that the incident occurred during the week-long lockdown in force in the city and outskirts till Wednesday morning to contain the spread of coronavirus, leaving most roads deserted as people remained indoors.
However, it was not known when exactly he undertook the ride. A fortnight ago, three youths who were doing wheelies on the city roads met with a ghastly mishap and lost their lives.
