The YouTuber posted the video of him swimming in his car on his official channel. The video showed the YouTuber and his friends having fun in the car's rear-seat swimming pool. Water began to pour into the driver's seat as the car came to a stop in a traffic jam, and it appeared that the airbags had burst.

The YouTuber is facing charges for six offenses, including dangerous driving. The Motor Vehicle Department has suspended both his driver's license and his vehicle registration certificate. He appeared before the Regional Transport Office on Wednesday for questioning regarding the case.

When MVD officials reached out to Sanju, he had already taken the car to Kollam in an attempt to evade action. However, officials from the department's enforcement wing managed to seize the vehicle and suspend its Registration Certificate. The department is now prepared to take strict action against Sanju for violating traffic rules.
