A farewell celebration at Kasdol’s Swami Atmanand School spiraled into danger as students executed high-risk maneuvers on speeding cars, sparking outrage online. Chhattisgarh police responded with force, arresting 16—mostly minors—and seizing four vehicles after the stunt video went viral.
The clips reveal heart-stopping scenes: teens on vehicle tops, doors ajar with bodies leaning perilously outward. Minors among the daredevils heightened the alarm over unchecked adolescent bravado.
Directed by the police chief, Kasdol officers conducted a thorough, expedited inquiry using social media evidence and local leads. Detainees comprise 12 schoolboys and four vehicle handlers, all owning up to the impulsive antics amid event euphoria.
In parental presence, the young offenders faced admonishment and lessons on the dual perils—legal breaches and mortal hazards—of their deeds. Recurrence will trigger escalated prosecution, warned the force.
Vehicles stand seized, with Motor Vehicles Act Section 184 cases slapped on owners. Culprit drivers: Shubham Chelk (19), Aditya Kumar Kashyap (19), Vikas Sahu (22), Gajadhar Sahu (45).
Police decried social media’s role in glamorizing peril, calling on guardians, institutions, and youth to prioritize oversight and reject viral temptations.
Emphasizing collective duty for orderly, secure school functions, this bust proclaims zero tolerance for law-flouting, age notwithstanding.
