The video has caused a huge debate on the social media platform about responsible driving and safe commuting habits.
"Bro must be working for an IT company as he might be short of clocking 70 hours per week," one user said, with a reference to the controversy generated by Infosys co-founder NR Narayanamurthy's comments.
"Client call and death can come at any time," commented another. "When you have to balance yourself between running a package and going back home," a third user commented.
Some users also tagged the Bengaluru Police and the city's traffic police asking for an action against the man. Reacting to it, the police asked the user to mention exact location details.
A few months ago, videos from Bengaluru showed someone working on laptop inside a cinema hall and a woman hooked onto her computer riding a pillion on a bike.
