The video sparked a flurry of reactions online, with users applauding the swift response from the police. One user said, “Commendable. Need this action intent across the city.” Another wrote, “No one is bothered about the law and order! … They know they will have to write the essay on safe driving!.. they will be out in hrs and doing the same thing again!”

Commenting on the choice of vehicle, an X user said, “Had they taken science lessons, I bet they would have not have choosen the Thar for racing purpose.”

This is not the first time SUV owners have come under fire for reckless driving. On March 13, a 27-year-old man was arrested by Noida police, a day after he crashed his SUV — a Mahindr Thar again — into several vehicles at a busy stretch in Noida’s Sector 16, and drove away. The video of the incident had gone viral, prompting action from the police.
