In an attempt to enact fictional superhero 'Shaktimaan', three youth landed themselves in jail on Saturday in Noida. They engaged in and shot a bike stunt in the city, a video of which went viral on social media. The three Ghaziabad residents, all in their early 20s, were caught for doing the dangerous stunt in Noida's Sector 63 police station, after which a video of their act had gone viral on social media.
The Gautam Buddh Nagar Police shared the video on their Twitter handle, and wrote, "Vikas, a young man doing dangerous stunts on a bike and his 02 companions (Gaurav, Suraj) who made videos, were arrested by the police station Sector-63 Noida and the bike used in the stunt was seized." The video was shared on social media with a background sound of the 90's popular TV show 'Shaktimaan'.
The episode is the latest in a series of events involving young men and women performing stunts on two-wheelers and cars, in violation of traffic laws and endangering their as well as others' lives, police said.
