Video of Reckless Bike Riding Near Bengaluru's Reva University Goes Viral, Police Launch Investigation
A video capturing a young boy and girl riding a bike recklessly, with the girl sitting on the fuel tank, has gone viral after being uploaded on social media platform X on Saturday afternoon. The incident reportedly took place near the Reva University campus in Kattiganahalli, although the exact date and time remain unclear. The video was recorded by individuals traveling in a car that followed the bike-riding pair.
In the video, the two individuals, who appear to be students, are seen riding without helmets. The girl, positioned on the bike's fuel tank, is seen hugging the boy as they navigate the road.
The Devanahalli traffic police have responded to the viral post, acknowledging the incident but noting the lack of specific details such as landmarks, timing, and the date of the occurrence. "We have taken note of the post on X. The person who recorded it has not provided specific information such as landmark, timing, and date. They have not even filed a complaint at the police station," a police official stated.
