Chaos reigned at a Chhattisgarh school farewell when daredevil stunts on cars by youths and minors lit up social media, leading to 16 arrests and four vehicle seizures by Kasdol police.
Swami Atmanand School’s event saw students atop Scorpios, clinging to doors, and protruding from windows in motion—a recipe for disaster vividly documented in circulating videos.
SP-guided Kasdol police mobilized fast, leveraging viral content, posts, and tips for arrests. Twelve minors and four drivers/owners were nabbed; interrogations confirmed thrill-of-the-moment decisions.
Minors got parental-fronted scoldings and risk awareness sessions, with police vowing tougher action on repeats.
Seized rides face Motor Vehicles Act Section 184 charges for owners. Arrested at the wheel: Shubham Chelk (19), Aditya Kumar Kashyap (19), Vikas Sahu (22), Gajadhar Sahu (45).
This case spotlights social media-fueled recklessness; appeals fly to parents and schools for proactive supervision against stunt mania.
Reinforcing event safety protocols, the raids affirm: no exemptions for endangering lives, young or old.
