Video: Men On Tractors Perform Stunts In Gurugram's CyberHub
They drove the tractors through the busy corporate district with no regard for traffic norms. Apart from endangering their own lives, they put pedestrians and fellow commuters at serious risk. The reckless stunt parade extended into Gurugram's posh DLF locality, where vehicle owners were seen swerving to avoid collisions.
The video shows them using two modified vehicles - a red Swaraj tractor with the name "Shera" painted on it, and a green tractor marked "Snipe". Multiple individuals were seen riding the vehicles while performing gestures and stunts in motion, seemingly for social media reels.

In a more serious violation, they also took their stunt tractors onto the Delhi-Gurugram Expressway, where such vehicles are explicitly prohibited. Witnesses said frightened drivers of other vehicles were forced to swerve out of the way, risking accidents.
This reckless behaviour comes after a hard-hitting observation by the Punjab and Haryana High Court, which recently ruled that such public road stunts could amount to culpable homicide. In a December 2024 case, Justice Anoop Chitkara stated that individuals who perform stunts on public roads using modified vehicles, fully aware of the potential for fatal outcomes, cannot be excused as merely rash or negligent drivers.
"When someone does stunts on a public road, endangering public safety... the act would fall in the definition of culpable homicide," Justice Chitkara said, as per Live Law.
Yashish Yadav, President of the Dwarka Expressway RWA Association, called the act a dangerous trend fuelled by the race for social media likes and followers, as per Dainik Bhaskar. He urged the administration to take strong legal action to prevent such incidents in the future.

Punjab & Haryana HC seeks state's reply on Majithia's plea against arrest
Chandigarh, The Punjab and Haryana High Court Friday asked the Punjab advocate general to respond to Shiromani Akali Dal leader Bikram Singh Majithia's plea against arrest and remand in a disproportionate assets case. Punjab & Haryana HC seeks state's reply on Majithia's plea against arrest Justice Tribhuvan Dahiya deferred the hearing to July 8 without any interim relief to the SAD leader. The court also asked Punjab Advocate General Maninderjit Singh Bedi to seek instructions on the plea, said Majithia's counsel Arshdeep Singh Kler. "The state counsel has been asked to take instructions on what is the petition and what is the petitioner's grouse. The AG himself has appeared in the court," Kler told mediapersons after the hearing. Kler said the court asked for placing an amended remand order on record. The lawyer said a fresh remand order of the Mohali court was placed on record on July 3. "But in the fresh remand order in which July 5 was mentioned as, an amendment has been made. Now an amended remand order has been issued in which the date has been changed from July 5 to July 6. The high court now asked for placing this on record," Kler said. Majithia, arrested in the DA case, was sent to a seven-day vigilance remand by the Mohali court on June 26. The court on July 2 extended Majithia's remand by four days more after his seven-day remand ended. The Punjab Vigilance Bureau on June 25 arrested Majithia in the DA case allegedly involving laundering of ₹540 crore of "drug money". Majithia on July 1 moved the HC against the DA case, calling it "political witch-hunting and vendetta" for being a vocal critic of the current dispensation. He sought the appropriate relief against the "illegal" arrest and subsequent remand granted in the FIR registered under the Prevention of Corruption Act, 1988. "The said FIR is a result of political witch-hunting and vendetta, initiated by the present political dispensation with the sole object of maligning and harassing the petitioner who has been a vocal critic and political opponent," the petition read. The plea argued that the FIR registered against him was "patently illegal" while his arrest was carried out in "gross violation of settled legal procedures". "The remand application filed by the investigating agency lacked any concrete or urgent investigative ground and merely relied on broad, speculative allegations such as the petitioner's alleged influence, foreign connections, and general statements about the need to confront him with documents or digital devices," it said. The petitioner submitted that the Supreme Court, by its detailed order on March 4, had refused custodial interrogation of the petitioner despite the same allegations being pressed before it via multiple affidavits filed by the State of Punjab. The present petition, therefore, raises important questions of law and principle concerning abuse of criminal process, misuse of remand powers, and the right to fair investigation and liberty, it added. Majithia, therefore, sought quashing of the remand order and directions to prevent further "abuse" of process. In the fresh FIR registered against Majithia, the VB claimed that preliminary investigations revealed that more than ₹540 crore of "drug money" has been laundered through several ways and it was allegedly facilitated by Majithia. The FIR against Majithia stems from an ongoing investigation being conducted by a Punjab Police special investigation team into the 2021 drug case. In 2021, Majithia was booked under the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances Act. The action was taken on the basis of a 2018 report of the anti-drug Special Task Force. He spent over five months in Patiala Jail and walked out of prison in August 2022 after the high court granted him bail.

Kochi tops in drug use among children, HC seeks solutions
The Kerala high court on Thursday orally asked the state govt whether there is any proposed action plan to curb the growing menace of drug use among children in Ernakulam city (police limits). The bench of Chief Justice Nitin Jamdar and Justice C Jayachandran made the query while considering a batch of petitions, including one filed by Sumi Joseph of Ernakulam - a mother of school-going children - as well as Kerala State Legal Services Authority (KeLSA) and others, seeking effective state intervention on the issue. According to an affidavit filed by the deputy secretary of the home department -- which included data from 2015 to 2024 -- Ernakulam city recorded the highest number of such cases, 53. Kottayam followed with 21 cases, Kozhikode city reported 12, Thrissur rural 9, Alappuzha 7 and Idukki 5. No cases were registered in Thiruvananthapuram city, Kollam city, Palakkad, Malappuram, Kannur (city and rural) or Kasaragod during this period. After examining the data and affidavit, the division bench observed that the authorities must focus their immediate attention on Ernakulam city. The court accordingly directed the Kochi city police commissioner to appear - either physically or virtually - by the next posting date to provide suggestions for a proposed action plan. The court also noted the lack of qualitative analysis in the affidavit such as studies identifying trends or reasons behind the data and therefore sought assistance of a senior police officer to focus specifically on Ernakulam. Additionally, the petitioner's counsel submitted that, according to their own findings, the situation in Ernakulam city is even more severe than the data suggests. The petitioner has collected relevant material, which will be handed over to the Kochi city police commissioner. The affidavit filed by home department deputy secretary T S Sindhu further stated the special drive titled Operation D-Hunt - led by the Ernakulam rural district police chief - is progressing vigorously across the state to combat the drug menace. The drive has resulted in significant seizures and is part of a multi-pronged strategy. So far, Janamaithri beat officers have identified 308 drug- or substance-addicted children. Besides, 341 children and adolescents have received counselling services, 112 have undergone de-addiction treatment and 142 have accessed teleconsulting services through the Chiri helpdesk which handles children's grievances and complaints. Additionally, 478 children have availed themselves of services offered by DDAD (digital de-addiction), DCRC (domestic conflict resolution centre) and 'Koottu' counsellors or psychologists during the past decade, the affidavit said.
