Biker Group Posts Video Performing Stunts On National Highway; 5 Arrested

Guwahati: The police reported on Monday that a total of five people were detained in the Hailakandi district of Assam for conducting dangerous bike stunts on the national highway.

Five young people were performing bike stunts on the national highway connecting Hailakandi with Karimganj, another adjacent district, according to a senior police officer.

Amin Laskar, Abdur Rahman Laskar, Fakrul Islam Laskar, Abdul Aziz, and Iqbal Hussain Majumdar were all apprehended by police.

After one of the group members posted a video on social media, the authorities became interested in the group’s bike stunts.

Earlier, Assam’s special DGP G.P. Singh issued a warning to riders who attempted risky feats on the highway.

On Twitter, Singh wrote: “People of Assam are requested to inform through Direct Message about any place or persons indulging in stunt biking on a regular basis. Such displays on social media platforms may also be brought to the notice of Assam Police.”

In order to reduce road accidents in Assam, Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma gave strict orders to curb such reckless driving to all district administration officers on Monday.
