The Banjara Hills police of Hyderabad have filed a case against a 19-year-old Zepto delivery executive for allegedly performing dangerous bike stunts on busy city roads and posting the videos on social media.
The accused, identified as Shadab, a resident of Devarakonda Basti on Road No. 5, Banjara Hills, was seen performing reckless stunts on KBR Main Road and Shameerpet Main Road.
Shadab recorded the stunt videos and uploaded them on Instagram, following which the clips went viral online and drew public attention.
