Overview

• On June 24, Hyderabad Police detained eight men after a video showed them performing dangerous stunts on a single motorcycle along the Outer Ring Road service road.
• The group was filmed stacking eight riders on one bike and obstructing fast-moving traffic while executing high-risk manoeuvres.
• All eight accused were traced, taken into custody at the Rajiv Gandhi International Airport police station, and formally charged under traffic safety laws.
• Separately, 23-year-old Mohd Umar Khalid, a Hyderabad native employed in Germany, faces charges for allegedly crashing his brother’s BMW into a motorcycle in Madhapur on June 17.
• Both cases underscore the growing reliance on social media and CCTV evidence by Hyderabad Police to enforce road safety and deter reckless driving.
