Bengaluru (Karnataka) : A young man, who was having a jolly ride with his girlfriend sitting on petrol tank, landed himself right in the soup. The Hebbala traffic station police have arrested the accused for 'riding' the bike dangerously with his girlfriend seated on top of the petrol tank of his vehicle.
The arrested accused is identified as Silambarasan (21), a resident of Kaval Bhairasandra. On May 17, the young man sat his girlfriend on the petrol tank and started riding the bike. They passed through the Kodigehalli flyover on the Yalahanka-Hebbala route. However, some other rider in the traffic took a video of the young man's joyride with his girlfriend, which eventually led to his arrest.
According to the traffic police, a rider driving behind the young man's bike captured the scene. The rider found that the young man was riding the bike recklessly without wearing a helmet and with his girlfriend on the petrol tank.
