Many people indulge in fairly unsafe road stunts, putting their own and others’ lives in peril these days. One such video has gone viral on social media, in which two men are seen drinking alcohol while sitting on the roof of a moving car in Uttar Pradesh’s Ghaziabad city. Both men could be seen drinking on top of a black car that was travelling on the road in a video uploaded by a Twitter user. They were also seen irresponsibly throwing used cans on the road while shouting and waving to pedestrians. According to reports, the two men were photographed sitting on top of a car drinking on Saturday, July 29.

The video elicited several replies from viewers, some of whom questioned the men’s behaviour in public. The two men, including the driver of the car, were arrested after multiple Twitter users uploaded the video and encouraged authorities to take action.
Ghaziabad Police immediately took notice of the situation and detained the three suspects, fining them Rs 10,000 for violating traffic laws. In addition, the accused’s car has also been seized. Assistant Commissioner of Police (ACP) Kavi Nagar, Abhishek Srivastava said that the three accused have been arrested, and an investigation is underway.
