‘Dangerous precedent set': Case filed in Gurgaon as viral video shows Lamborghini speeding
A viral video of a speeding yellow Lamborghini Gallardo on the Golf Course Road in DLF Phase-1 in Gurgaon has drawn the police's attention. A case has been filed against an unknown driver for 'reckless driving' and 'endangering lives,' said officers. 'The driver's actions have not only endangered lives but also set a dangerous precedent by gaining fame through such reckless behavior,' stated the FIR filed at DLF Phase-1 Police Station on Monday, as it highlighted violations of traffic and public safety laws. According to the FIR, the complaint was lodged by Head Constable Jaivir. Station House Officer (SHO) Inspector Rajesh Kumar Bagri said the police took a suo motu note of the undated incident, and an investigation is underway to trace the luxury car's owners. 'Across the city, there are only four such owners whose descriptions seem to match. The rest have Lamborghinis of different colours. We have contacted three of then and verified that they weren't involved after getting details from the transport department… one is now left,' he said, adding, 'We will also look at such vehicles registered in Faridabad.' Police have invoked sections 125, 281, and 57 of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS) for endangering lives, reckless driving, and aiding the commission of an offence, respectively. In his complaint, the Head Constable stated that the driver, whose identity remains unknown, was filming the drive, and the vehicle's number plate was not visible in the footage. The viral clip is said to have 'wrongly influenced' others to create similar content, posing a threat to passersby, it added. The SHO said Section 57 had been invoked due to the alleged role played by the driver's friends as well as those driving around him at the time. 'In a bid to go viral, they were promoting and causing criminal activity. Some cars were trailing behind the car in what seems like a coordinated effort to look cool, so we are probing that as well.'
