The race took place in Cyberhub, Gurugram. The police revealed the Audi A4 driver’s identity after searching the car’s registration number on their records and have fined him INR 1,000 for dangerous driving. In the meanwhile, the bike rider was not issued a challan because its registration number is only temporary and his name has not been identified. However, a similar challan is expected to be sent to him soon. Commenting about this case, Mohammad Akil, Police Commissioner stated,

“We have taken a stern stance of the video as it is promoting erratic speeding. We have been concentrating on postal challans off late and making them more binding. We urge people to approach more such violations.”
