Viral Video Shows 4 Men Hanging Out Of Speeding Car, Bengaluru Police Takes Action

A video of four men hanging out of the sunroof, and windows of a moving car in Bengaluru is going viral on the internet. The video shot by an onlooker shows a group of men dancing in a moving car on a busy road. Further in the video, one man goes to the extent of removing his shirt. The incident took place on NH7, also known as Airport Road.

The video showed a busy street filled with moving vehicles. Amid the traffic, a Honda City sedan, featuring an electric sunroof, was seen. Surprisingly, instead of just one, two people were seen standing outside the sunroof, defying the confined space available. Meanwhile, another person sat on the right-side rear window frame, engaging enthusiastically with their companions. Additionally, a fourth individual tried to emerge from the rear left window but appeared to struggle and eventually withdrew into the car.

Tagging Bengaluru police, a user shared a video along with the caption, "Some maniacs doing unnecessary acts on the NH7 (airport road) please take necessary action against these lunatics! Vehicle number - DL3CBA9775."
