Stunt Couple on Car Roof in Pune: Viral Video Sparks Safety Concerns

A video of a couple performing daring stunts on the roof of a moving car in Pune has gone viral, raising serious concerns about public safety and the growing trend of risky behavior for online attention. The video, shot at night, shows the pair sitting on the roof of a car as it moves steadily through traffic on a busy main road in Pune's Kharadi area.

The couple is seen engaging in romantic poses and performing stunts while the vehicle navigates through the city's bustling streets. This incident adds to a growing list of dangerous stunts performed by young people on public roads, often in an attempt to gain attention on social media platforms.

Only days earlier, another concerning video surfaced from Shindewadi near Khed Shivapur. In this video, a young woman is seen sitting backwards on the petrol tank of a moving motorcycle while the rider continues to drive. Such incidents highlight the alarming trend of individuals engaging in reckless behavior to gain online fame, often at the risk of their own safety and that of others on the road.

Section 184 of the Motor Vehicles Act clearly states that dangerous driving can lead to a fine of up to Rs 10,000 (with a minimum of Rs 1,000) and may also result in imprisonment for up to one year. Despite these legal penalties, the allure of viral fame continues to drive individuals to take such risks.

Local authorities in Pune have expressed their concern over these incidents and have stepped up efforts to curb such dangerous activities. They urge the public to report any such behavior and remind everyone of the serious consequences of engaging in reckless stunts on public roads.

The viral video of the couple on the car roof has sparked a broader discussion about the role of social media in influencing young people's behavior. While social platforms provide a means for self-expression and creativity, they also have the potential to encourage harmful and dangerous trends. It is crucial for both social media companies and the community to work together to promote responsible and safe behavior online.

In the meantime, the couple involved in the stunt has not been identified, but authorities are actively investigating the incident. They are also working on implementing stricter measures to prevent similar incidents in the future. The safety of the public remains the top priority, and it is hoped that such reckless behavior will be discouraged to prevent any tragic outcomes.
