Previous incidents of reckless stunts in Kanpur

Kanpur has witnessed similar instances of risky behaviour on its roads in the past. In June last year, a man was booked for performing a ‘Titanic’ pose while standing on a moving bike. In another case, a man executed a dangerous wheelie in front of police officers, earning himself a fine of 5,000.
