Later, the cops took cognisance of the video and tracked him down through CCTV footage. “During interrogation, Sahil confirmed that it was his video. Subsequently, a case was registered against him at the M Division Traffic Police Station and he was arrested. The accused had recently learnt the stunt and was trying it on the SBR. However, a vigilant citizen captured the dangerous act on his camera and tagged the Ahmedabad police on social media," said the police.

According to police, cases of such stunts have increased in recent times. Often, two-wheeler riders tamper with number plates to evade action. However, the accused was caught within 24 hours of the incident by the Ahmedabad Police by tracking down the registration number of the Honda Activa scooter. The police later took to social media and said, “A video went viral on social media in Ahmedabad city. Based on the viral video of the driver doing stunts on Activa on Sindhubhan road, legal action was taken against the Activa driver Ahmedabad City Traffic Police."

The incident came to light around the same time when Mumbai Traffic Police nabbed a person riding scooter without helmet along with seven minors. The person was slapped with charges of culpable homicide not amounting to murder.
