  • A local resident’s social media post of the viral video led police to forward footage to Rajendra Park station and scrutinize CCTV feeds before filing an FIR.
  • Police arrested three men—Himanshu (22), Sagar (24) and Kaushal (24)—and seized two Mahindra Thars and one Toyota Fortuner used in the stunt.
