Bengaluru Men Dance While Hanging Out of Moving Car, Arrested After Video Goes Viral

A video depicting four men hanging out of the sunroof and windows of a moving car in Bengaluru gained widespread attention on social media, eventually leading to their arrest. In the video, recorded by individuals in the vehicle trailing behind, concerns were voiced about the perilous nature of the boys’ actions, emphasising the potential legal consequences they might face. The incident reportedly occurred on NH 7, also known as Airport Road.

The video showcased a bustling thoroughfare with numerous vehicles in motion. Amidst the traffic, a Honda City sedan equipped with an electric sunroof was observed.

Another person occupied the right-side rear window, sitting on the rear window frame, enthusiastically interacting with his companions. Additionally, a fourth person attempted to emerge from the rear left window but seemingly struggled and retreated into the car.
