The accused, Uday Vikram A, a resident of Plague Maramma Street, KR Puram, was booked on Monday under multiple sections of the law. Police invoked Section 281 of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (rash or negligent driving/riding on a public way), along with Sections 184 (dangerous driving) and 189 (racing/speed trials) of the Indian Motor Vehicle Act, TOI reported.

The police said the video, recorded last month with the help of friends, went viral on social media. The three-wheeler is currently impounded at the KR Puram traffic police station. It will be released only if a court directs the police to do so.
