Viral Bengaluru Stunt: Police Trace Lamborghini to Ex-Don’s Son, Issue Notice
A viral video showing a high-end Lamborghini performing risky drifting stunts on a busy Bengaluru road has triggered swift police action, with the investigation now leading to the residence of Ricky Rai, son of late underworld figure Muthappa Rai. The incident, which took place in the early hours of the morning, has raised serious concerns about public safety and reckless driving in the city.
According to police officials, the stunt occurred between 2 am and 3 am at Anil Kumble Circle, a prominent junction in central Bengaluru. The video, widely circulated on social media, showed the luxury sports car executing repeated drifts and high-speed turns in the middle of the road. Some occupants were also reportedly seen leaning out of the sunroof, adding to the dangerous nature of the act.
Acting on the viral footage, Bengaluru traffic police registered a case under sections related to rash and negligent driving, as well as endangering human life. The authorities also seized the Lamborghini Huracan involved in the incident as part of their investigation.
During the probe, police traced the vehicle to the residence of Ricky Rai. Following this, a formal notice was issued asking him to appear for questioning in connection with the case. However, officials have clarified that it is not yet confirmed whether he owns the vehicle or was present during the stunt. Establishing the identity of the driver remains a key focus of the investigation.
Police are currently examining CCTV footage from the surrounding area and have also contacted the Regional Transport Office to verify ownership details of the car. Investigators are working to identify all individuals involved in the incident, including those seen inside the vehicle during the stunt.
The incident has once again highlighted the growing trend of reckless driving stunts being performed for social media attention. Authorities have warned that such acts pose a serious threat not only to those involved but also to other road users. Officials emphasised that strict action will be taken against anyone found responsible, including possible penalties and further legal consequences.
The case has also drawn attention due to the high-profile link to Ricky Rai, whose father, Muthappa Rai, was once a prominent figure in Karnataka’s underworld before transitioning into business and social work. This connection has added a layer of public interest to what would otherwise be a traffic violation case.
While the investigation is still ongoing, the Bengaluru police have reiterated their zero-tolerance approach towards dangerous driving practices. They have urged citizens to report similar incidents and stressed the importance of responsible behaviour on public roads.
The viral video may have started as a display of speed and thrill, but it has now evolved into a legal case with wider implications. As authorities continue their probe, the incident serves as a reminder that reckless stunts on public roads can lead to serious consequences, both legally and in terms of public safety.
