Delhi Police Lodges FIR After Car Dragging Barricade Video Goes Viral

After a video of a car dragging a barricade in a city flyover went viral, the Delhi Police has lodged an FIR against an unidentified driver.

The viral video showed the car dragging the police barricade for more than 100 metres.

"Taking cognizance of this viral video, the Sunlight Colony police investigated the matter and found that the incident occurred on the Barapullah flyover. We have booked the unidentified car driver under provisions of the Motor Vehicles Act," a senior police officer said.

Setting up barricades is a routine measure employed by the police to discourage reckless driving, drunk driving, and wrong-way driving. Usually, Delhi Police officers are stationed at these barricades to supervise drivers, particularly during nighttime.

Nevertheless, in this specific case, it appears that there were no police personnel at the barricade when the incident occurred.
