Dangerous stunts outside Greater Noida college, car owners fined Rs 1.2 lakh after video goes viral
A video showing passengers in two moving cars performing dangerous stunts outside a college in Greater Noida trended on social media Monday, prompting the traffic police to issue challans worth nearly Rs 1.2 lakh. In the video, a Maruti Suzuki Brezza is seen overtaking another vehicle at a dangerously high speed before abruptly slamming on the brakes outside a college in the Knowledge Park area of Greater Noida. One of the passengers leans out of the window, waving his hands. Meanwhile, two men in a Maruti Suzuki Baleno are seen speeding, with another man extending a baseball bat out of the car's window and swinging it in the air. After a 10-second video clip surfaced on social media with the background music of a trending track, the traffic police fined the owners of Baleno and Brezza Rs 63,500 and Rs 57,500, respectively. Lakhan Singh Yadav, Deputy Commissioner of Police (Traffic), said the exact date of the incident is yet to be ascertained. 'We have referred the matter to the Knowledge Park police for further action, including seizure of the vehicles involved,' he said. According to the police, the fines were imposed under provisions of the Motor Vehicles Act, including Section 184 (dangerous driving), Section 189 (speeding), Section 179 (disobedience and obstruction), and Section 194B (seatbelt violation). 'A case under sections 281 (rash driving) and 125 (act endangering life) of Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS) was registered Monday and teams were formed to nab the suspects,' said Sarvesh Singh, Station House Officer, Knowledge Park. In June, a man and a woman who performed a stunt on a moving motorcycle on the Noida-Greater Noida Expressway were penalised with a challan of Rs 53,500. The traffic police took cognisance of a five-second video of the incident that went viral on social media after some passerby shot it. The video showed a man riding a motorcycle on the busy expressway, with a woman seated facing him on the fuel tank. Her legs were wrapped around him, and neither of them wore helmets.

As stunts test limits on Noida roads, fines also hit new highs
Noida: Traffic police have issued challans totaling Rs 1.2 lakh to two car owners after videos circulating on social media showed youngsters performing dangerous stunts with these two vehicles in Greater Noida's Knowledge Park. A 15-second clip on social media shows one youngster sitting on the window of a car and waving a lathi, while the driver's door is open. It cuts to another car, which is seen zigzagging on a road while a passenger sits on the vehicle's window. As the video sparked outrage among online users, Noida police swung into action and tracked down the vehicles, both registered with the Gautam Budh Nagar transport department.

They said a challan amounting to Rs 63,500 was issued to the owner of a Maruti Suzuki Brezza, and another worth Rs 57,500 to the owner of Baleno. Together, this is the highest challan to be slapped for stunts in the city so far. The fine was issued under multiple sections of the Motor Vehicles Act, among them dangerous driving, endangering lives, disobedience and obstruction, and seatbelt violation. DCP (traffic) Lakhan Singh Yadav said on Monday cops have alerted Knowledge Park police about taking action against the accused. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like 5 Books Warren Buffett Wants You to Read In 2025 Blinkist: Warren Buffett's Reading List Undo Knowledge Park SHO Sarvesh Singh told TOI that an FIR was registered against the two car owners under sections 181 (rash driving), 251 (act endangering life and personal safety of others) of BNS. "We have launched a search to arrest the accused and seize the cars," he said. Asked what will deter drivers from performing stunts, traffic cops said they club together several violations, so the penalty amount for the challan is higher. In the Knowledge Park case, one of the cars was issued a challan of Rs 20,000 for dangerous driving (section 184 of MV Act), apart from Rs 20,000 for racing (section 189), Rs 1,000 for failure to use safety belts (section 194-B), and Rs 2,000 for disobedience of direction given by an authority (section 179), among other violations. In case of a repeat offence, police said, the Parivahan online portal will automatically double the challan issued against the vehicle. Performing stunts isn't uncommon in the city. On June 2, Noida traffic police fined Rs 89,500, the highest penalty levied against the owner of a four-wheeler, after a video showed three men in a Mahindra Scorpio dragging a police barricade in Greater Noida. Cops later seized this vehicle and arrested the three accused.
