A high‑performance sports car was seen drifting on a Gurgaon thoroughfare, prompting local police to launch a manhunt for the driver suspected of reckless driving.
Gurgaon police reported that a sports car, described as a high‑speed, low‑ground‑clearance vehicle, was observed drifting at high speed on a major city road on Tuesday. Witnesses said the car performed a series of controlled slides, endangering other commuters and causing traffic disruption.
The incident prompted an immediate response from traffic police, who filed a case for reckless driving and began a city‑wide search for the driver, described in reports as a "daredevil". Officers have reviewed CCTV footage from nearby intersections and are appealing to the public for any additional information that could lead to an arrest.
Authorities warned that such dangerous maneuvers violate the Motor Vehicles Act and carry severe penalties, including fines and possible imprisonment. The police have also announced increased patrols in the area to deter similar stunts.
No injuries or vehicle damage were reported, but the event has raised concerns among residents about road safety and the need for stricter enforcement against high‑performance vehicles used irresponsibly.
The hunt remains ongoing, with officials urging anyone who saw the car or its driver to come forward through the designated helpline.
