Bengaluru Traffic Police have registered an FIR against the driver of a green Lamborghini Huracan after a video of the luxury supercar recklessly weaving through traffic on Mysuru Road near Kengeri went viral on social media platforms like Instagram and X.
The footage showed the high-end sports car speeding at high velocity and dangerously cutting through congested traffic, posing a serious risk to other road users and pedestrians. The video was widely shared by netizens, drawing sharp criticism online and prompting police to take suo motu cognisance of the digital evidence and launch an investigation.
Acting on the viral clip, Kengeri traffic police registered a case under Section 281 of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS), which deals with rash or negligent driving on public roads that endangers human life or the safety of others. Police have also used provisions of the Indian Motor Vehicles Act in their legal response.
A senior traffic official stated that the aim of the action is to send a clear message that no driver — even of high-end vehicles — is above the law and that irresponsible behaviour on public roads will not be tolerated. Authorities are now working to trace the identity of the driver and verify the registration details of the Lamborghini to proceed with further legal action.
