Overview

  • A helmetless couple performed a dangerous stunt on the Agra–Kanpur Highway with the woman lying on the bike’s fuel tank and the man riding at speed without head protection.
  • A passerby’s footage of the June 27 stunt quickly circulated on social media, drawing widespread criticism.
  • Firozabad Police under SHO Sanjul Pandey and SP Ravi Shanker Prasad are using low-resolution clips and unclear registration data to trace both riders and the motorcycle.
  • No penalties have been imposed yet, but officers have pledged to levy hefty fines after verifying the couple’s identities.
  • The incident follows a ₹53,500 fine issued for a similar stunt on the Noida–Greater Noida Expressway and reflects a state-wide road-safety campaign that has generated over 1.1 million challans since January.
