SURAT: A video showcasing two brothers dangerously performing stunts atop a moving Mercedes on Dumas-Piplod Road has led to their arrest by the Umra police. The force is intensifying its crackdown on reckless driving and vehicular stunts following a recent over-speeding accident in Ahmedabad.
The viral video depicted one brother driving the luxury vehicle while taking his legs off the roof and sitting on top of the car, with the other positioned beside him, feet resting on the car's bonnet. Upon the video's circulation, the Umra police initiated action.
Identified as Azhar Shaikh, 29, and his brother Ajaz Shaikh, 30, the two were swiftly located using the car's registration number. Surprisingly, a check of the vehicle's history revealed that it had been sold to five different individuals before being acquired by an insurance company and then eventually ending up with the Shaikh brothers.
In a move to ensure the duo comprehended the severity of their actions, the police detained the brothers and later took them to the site of their dangerous escapade. Additionally, the authorities seized their luxury vehicle.
Umra Police conveyed their disapproval, emphasizing the potential dangers of such recklessness. They also expressed regret for the need to resort to punitive measures but underscored the importance of road safety.
