Performing stunts on public roads is illegal in India. The incident comes as the government is working on increasing road safety and ensuring the application of road safety measures. Moreover, Union Road Transport and Highway Minister Nitin Gadkari recently stated that reckless driving and no fear of the law are some of the major factors that have led to an increase in accidents in India.
