A video of firecrackers being set off from the roof of a moving car in Gurugram has surfaced on social media. The short clip which shows three cars driving down the road, with one of them igniting fireworks from the vehicle's roof, has gone viral right after Diwali. The cars have no number plate, reportedly to avoid identification.
In the video, firecrackers are being seen ignited on the roof of a speeding car. A man is also seen shouting and waving from the roof window of another car. According to the police, the incident took place in Sector 70 of Gurugram, in front of a mall.
"On Diwali, the youth of Gurugram spread anarchy in the name of celebration, the youth of NCR have now become so clever that they are making videos by hiding the number plates of vehicles," X page Greater Noida West wrote while sharing the video.
