The incident took place at the Ganga Barrage in Uttar Pradesh’s Kanpur. According to police, the biker has been slapped with a fine of Rs 5,000 for his actions.
The clip begins with a young man riding a bike, wearing a maroon-coloured shirt. Soon, two police persons enter the frame who, too, ride a bike and seem to try and chase the man. The youth, on the other hand, can then be seen performing a wheelie stunt in which the front wheel of the bike is raised so that the vehicle is balanced on its rear wheel for a brief period.
The 10-second reel also captures another cop who rides a bullet and appears like a senior police official. He, too, can be seen following the biker before the video ends. The reel has a Punjabi song being played in the backdrop.

Soon after the video surfaced online, Nawabganj Police in Kanpur initiated a probe into the matter and nabbed the biker performing the stunt. He was fined under the Motor Vehicles (MV) Act.
