The 18-second clip showed the woman sitting cross-legged on the petrol tank of the motorbike hugging the rider, who was wearing a blue shirt with a bag strung around him. She then grabbed his neck and kissed him on the mouth. In between, the man kicked the road with his leg to maintain the balance of the bike as it wobbled. Both were without helmets and driving zigzag through fast-moving cars. The person shooting the video was heard saying how the couple had crossed all limits. The clip was also shared on social media by a senior police officer, who called for action against such a reckless act.

Police officers said an inquiry has been ordered to find the date and timing of the incident. “We have also appealed to the person who shot the video to approach us with details so that legal action can be initiated,” said DCP (west) Monika Bhardwaj. The bike was a black Bajaj Pulsar with a designer rear numberplate. Cops said the violation will attract penalisation under IPC Section 279 (dangerous driving).
