In a disturbing incident in Himachal Pradesh’s Shimla, a man was seen on camera performing a reckless stunt while driving along a narrow, winding stretch of the Solan-Shimla highway. The video, shared by X user Rattan Dhillon, has since sparked outrage on social media. The viral clip, recorded from another vehicle, shows the man in a yellow shirt recklessly standing at the front door on the driver’s side of an SUV as it moves along the highway amid other cars.

Sharing the video, Dhillon wrote, "New day, new low people like this keep pushing the limits. Hope Himachal Police finally decides to make an example out of someone."
