Following a series of social media videos showing drag races, bike stunts and dance gatherings on key arterial roads at Hi-Tec City, the Cyberabad police have stepped up security to curb dangerous and prohibited activities in the area.
The stretch around Café Niloufer and near T-Hub in Knowledge City has emerged as a recurring hotspot for late-night incidents involving reckless driving and stunts. Police say the growing ‘reel culture’ has encouraged some youngsters to treat these busy roads as informal racing and performance zones, posing serious risks to commuters and residents.
A special enforcement drive is now being carried out from Friday to Sunday, with heightened surveillance continuing on weekdays as well, to prevent youth from engaging in such activities. So far, 60 bikes, five cameras and a drone have been seized, and at least four cases have been registered against those involved in dangerous stunts, Raidurgam Inspector Ch. Venkanna said. Those participating in dance performances have been counselled, and some parents have also been counselled in cases involving minors.
