Farzi’ stunt on Golf Course Road proves costly for YouTuber

Vikas Kaushik, ACP DLF, said, “The matter was brought to our attention from social media. In the clip, two people are seen moving in a car on Golf Course Road and recreating a scene from a web show. It appears they did not have any permission and the act was done without any safety measures in place. It has been noticed of late that people have been recording such videos to gain popularity on social media and putting the safety of commuters at risk, which could result in fatal accidents. A case has been registered against the people in the video.”

In the police complaint lodged by a police officer, it was stated that the officer was on duty and came across a video clip on Instagram titled ‘Paise uda Feroz’ from the account of one Joravar Singh Kalsi.

“In the video, two men could be seen speeding and driving in a negligent way on Golf Course Road in a car. One person is behind the wheel while another could be seen opening the boot of the car and throwing currency notes on the road,” the FIR read.

Police said both Joravar and Gurpreet were arrested after they joined the investigation and later released. “The accused said they had recorded the video clip on March 2. Joravar was driving the car and Gurpreet was throwing the fake currency notes from the boot of the car similar to a scene from a web series. Two more associates had shot the video on a motorcycle which was following them. The currency notes of denomination Rs 500 and Rs 2,000 are fake. The notes read ‘Manoranjan Bank of India’,” said the police in a statement.

Police said they have appealed to people against indulging in such acts, especially on Golf Course Road, where high-speeding vehicles operate, adding that action shall be taken against offenders.

An FIR was registered against the accused under sections 279 (rash driving or riding on a public way), 283 (danger or obstruction in public way or line of navigation), 336 (act endangering life or personal safety of others) of Indian Penal Code and relevant section of The Motor Vehicles Act at Sushant Lok police station, said police.
