Traffic police in Ludhiana have taken strict action against a young woman for performing dangerous motorcycle stunts on a public road. The incident, which was captured on video and circulated widely, led to her being issued a challan for reckless driving and endangering public safety.
Viral Video Leads to Police Action
The matter came to light after a video clip began circulating on social media platforms. The footage clearly showed a woman, later identified as a resident of Ludhiana, performing stunts on a motorcycle.

Acting swiftly on the viral evidence, officials from the Ludhiana traffic police department launched an investigation to identify the rider and the location of the incident.

Challan Issued for Multiple Violations
