A Lamborghini owner has been booked after a high-speed drifting stunt at Anil Kumble Circle on MG Road in Bengaluru during the early hours of Saturday, police said. The incident took place under the flyover at around 2 am. Following the incident, an FIR has been registered within the jurisdiction of the Cubbon Park Police Station.
Officials said the incident took place between 2 am and 3 am, when the luxury car was seen drifting dangerously at the busy junction, putting other road users at risk. The act, which turned the stretch into a stunt zone, was captured on surveillance cameras and witnessed by passersby.
Based on the vehicle’s registration number, Cubbon Park Police registered an FIR against the owner. A case has been filed under relevant provisions of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita and the Motor Vehicles Act.
Police said efforts are underway to identify who was driving the vehicle at the time. Authorities are also verifying whether the registered owner was behind the wheel, adding that further action will depend on the findings of the investigation.
The 11-second video of the stunt went viral on social media, showing the car drifting at the junction as onlookers cheered before it sped away.
The case comes amid growing concern over reckless driving linked to social media trends. Earlier this week, a 15-year-old boy died in Hubballi while allegedly filming a reel involving high-speed vehicles. Police said the teenager was riding an electric bike when it collided with an Audi Q7 reportedly driven by another minor during the shoot. Further investigation in both cases is underway.
