YouTuber Takes Hayabusa In Pangong Lake For Views. Law Comes Knocking
The action came after Ali Aalyan Iqbal posted pictures and videos of the stunts in Leh on his Instagram account.
Iqbal has been booked under Sections 125 and 292 of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS) 2023. Section 125 of BNS deals with acts endangering life or the personal safety of others, while Section 292 refers to public nuisance in cases not otherwise specified.
"A domestic tourist was booked U/S 125 & 292 of BNS 2023 for dangerously riding a bike in restricted zones of Pangong Lake & Nubra sand dunes, endangering Ladakh's fragile ecosystem," the Leh police posted on their official X account.
The officials also urged visitors to respect local laws to protect Ladakh's fragile ecosystem. See the post here.
Iqbal, known for his biking and bodybuilding videos, was seen riding his Suzuki Hayabusa and Kawasaki Ninja superbikes in Leh. In one of the videos, he is seen riding through the Nubra sand dunes, where his bike gets stuck and kicks up clouds of sand.

Earlier, a couple from Jaipur was booked and a bond of Rs 50,000 was taken from them for driving a Toyota Fortuner SUV on sand dunes in Hunder in Nubra Valley.
At the time, the district police urged tourists not to drive on the dunes, for it damages the natural landscape and violates the prohibitory orders.

Brother duo from Bihar caught in Surat for getting Aadhaar forged to get accommodation, land job
Surat police have nabbed a man and his younger brother — both natives of Bihar — for allegedly procuring Aadhaar cards with a fake name to get a house and land a job at a diamond factory in Surat. While the elder brother was produced before a court on Tuesday and sent to a two-day police remand, the younger one, a juvenile, was sent to a children's remand home in Katargam. Special Operations Group officials had on Monday evening reached a flat on the third floor of Shiv Heritage Apartment in Surat's Sagrampura area, acting on a tip-off about the accused. They found two persons, who identified themselves as Pradeep Maurya and Pankaj Maurya and claimed that they hailed from Bihar's Katihar district. The duo said they were working at a diamond factory in Katargam. However, they soon confessed to having forged Aadhaar cards. The elder brother was identified as Mohammed Afridi Wajidali (25). The younger brother is 17-year-old, officers said. The accused said they had been facing issues while they were searching for an accommodation. They said that when they found a house in Sagrampura, they were allegedly told that the owner only rents it out to people from the Hindu community. The accused then got Aadhaar cards made with fake Hindu names and started to live in the flat on rent. They also allegedly used the same Aadhaar card to land a job at the factory, officers said.. Police arrested Wajidali under BNS sections 319 (cheating by personation), 336(2) (forgery), 336(3)(forgery with the intent to cheat), 338 (forgery of valuable security, wills and related documents), 340 (using forged documents as genuine). Talking to The Indian Express, Athwalines police inspector H K Solanki said, 'We have arrested the elder brother and the younger one was sent to a children's remand home. They hail from Bihar and were staying in Surat and working at a diamond unit for the past one year. They had got documents forged to get a place to stay and a job in the city. We are trying to dig out more information. We are also trying to ascertain if they had any other motive.'

Puppy killed during attack on owner at Rajajipuram fuel stn
Lucknow: A man was brutally assaulted by a group of 7–8 individuals at a petrol pump in Rajajipuram, during which his two-month-old puppy was fatally injured. The attack occurred around 11:30 am on Aug 1, but the case came to light after a video of the assault went viral late Monday, prompting the victim to lodge a formal complaint at Talkatora police station. According to the FIR, the victim — Phooldeep Srivastava — was on his way to a veterinary clinic along with his friend Akshat and his ailing puppy when he stopped at the Tempo Stand petrol pump to refuel. It was there that a group of unidentified assailants confronted and began attacking him without provocation. Phooldeep said in his written complaint that while he was still seated on his motorcycle, the attackers began hitting him with sticks and fists. When his relative tried to intervene, one of the attackers — identified as Abhijeet Singh — allegedly struck Phooldeep on the head with a metal rod, causing serious bleeding and injuries. Amid the chaos, the attackers also allegedly manhandled the relative and trampled the puppy, named 'Hickey', leading to its death. The entire incident was captured by CCTV cameras installed at the petrol pump. "Based on the complaint, an FIR has been registered under Sections 191(2), 115(2), and 325 of BNS, 2023, and Section 11 of the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Act, 1960," said Talkatora SHO Kuldeep Dubey. "We are analysing the CCTV footage and efforts are on to identify and arrest all accused." The FIR names Abhijeet Singh as the prime accused, along with 7–8 unidentified individuals who remain absconding. |
