Poonam Mishra, ACP, Sahibabdad zone in Ghaziabad district of Uttar Pradesh, said, "The video was in circulation on social media. The woman along with her car has been identified. A complaint was filed on behalf of the police and thereafter a case was registered. I was also told by the traffic police that they have traced the registration number of the car and also imposed a fine of Rs 17,000 on the owner of the vehicle."
According to locals, Ghaziabad's Raj Nagar elevated pathway has, nowadays, become a hotspot for short video reel-making enthusiasts. Police's strict warnings to these did not yield desired results as many still continue to make videos in the middle of the road. They do not pay heed to police, a local road user said.
