Traffic Disrupted In Gurugram As 22-Car Convoy Films Social Media Reels
The traffic was disrupted for several minutes on Sunday evening along the road connecting Gurugram's Sector 108 to the Dwarka Expressway.
Performing vehicle stunts for views is becoming increasingly popular among young people. These stunts often involve dangerous manoeuvres such as hanging out of moving vehicles or driving recklessly on public roads, which pose serious risks of accidents and injuries.
For many, such behaviour isn't just reckless; it can also be seen as a public nuisance or even harassment, potentially leading to legal consequences. A recent example unfolded in Gurugram, where a convoy of nearly 22 vehicles caused major traffic disruption while attempting such stunts.
Gurugram's 22 Vehicle Convoy
According to the Hindustan Times, citing police officials, traffic was disrupted for several minutes on Sunday evening along the road connecting Gurugram's Sector 108 to the Dwarka Expressway. The disruption was caused by a convoy of nearly two dozen vehicles, including a Mercedes-Benz SLC convertible, which allegedly blocked the intersection to film social media reels.
The disturbance near the high-rises Shobha City and Experion Heartsong caused major inconvenience for commuters and residents.
In the video, two men can be seen standing on the seats of the Mercedes with the top down. On the other hand, two men were seen filming the reel, while all other members of the group celebrated from nearby vehicles, some standing on footrests and others coming out of the sunroof.
The residents claimed that the cars had illegally equipped sirens that were continuously blaring.
However, after completing the shoot, several vehicles were seen in the video making illegal U-turns and fleeing in the wrong direction.
Gurugram Police's Statement On The Viral Video
According to HT, no formal complaint has been filed against the men. Sandeep Kumar, Gurugram police's Public Relations Officer, shared that the incident came to their notice through social media platforms on Sunday night.
'The video has been forwarded to the concerned police station, and the matter is being investigated," Kumar added. 'Efforts are being made to identify the culprits using CCTV footage from the neighbourhood. All vehicles involved, including the sports car, will be seized."
In a similar incident, the Uttarakhand Police recently arrested five youths from Haryana for performing dangerous stunts in a car. The vehicle was seized, and all individuals were taken into custody.

Infopark honey trap case: IT company owner, three others booked
Kochi, Aug 5 (PTI) The Infopark honey trap case, in which a couple was recently arrested over allegations of attempting to extort crores of rupees from the owner of an IT company, has taken a twist, with police registering a sexual harassment case against the owner based on the complaint of the accused woman. Police registered the case on Tuesday against Venu Gopalakrishnan, the owner of the IT company in Kochi's Infopark, and three others after recording the woman's statement, which took several hours and continued until midnight on Monday. Investigators said various non-bailable sections of the BNS have been invoked, including Section 74 (assault or use of criminal force against a woman with the intent to outrage her modesty), Section 75 (sexual harassment), Section 79 (insult to a woman's modesty), Section 3(5) (criminal act committed by several persons in furtherance of the common intention of all) and Section 351(2) (criminal intimidation). A section of the Information Technology Act has also been applied against the accused, they said, adding that the alleged incidents occurred between February last year and July this year. 'We are yet to summon the accused. An investigation is under way and we need to verify the details of the complaint," a senior police officer told PTI. Later in the day, the complainant, while speaking to a TV channel, made serious allegations against Gopalakrishnan, her former employer. She accused him of 'implicating her and her husband in the honey trap case after she warned him that she would report the harassment she had suffered at the workplace to the company's internal grievance redressal cell". Neither Gopalakrishnan nor the other accused have responded to the allegations so far. Police, last week, had arrested the woman and her husband of trying to extort Rs 30 crore from Gopalakrishnan by threatening to tarnish his reputation and implicate him in a false rape case. According to police, she and her husband, Krishna Raj, had spread rumours that she had an illicit relationship with the IT company owner. They then allegedly warned they would lodge a rape complaint against him unless he paid them. A team led by Central ACP Siby Tom arrested the couple and recovered the Rs 20 crore cheque leaf and agreement papers from them, police had said.
