A late-night incident involving a high-end supercar on one of Bengaluru’s busiest roads has drawn massive flak online after a video of the act went viral. The widely shared clip shows a Lamborghini reportedly worth ₹5.7 crore - repeatedly performing “donuts” on MG Road near a flyover, even as other vehicles were moving through the area. The risky manoeuvres at a public junction raised serious safety concerns due to ongoing traffic.
The footage was originally posted by a social media user who alerted Bengaluru traffic authorities. The user claimed that the vehicle, bearing registration KA 05 NR 0009, was seen spinning in circles multiple times, generating tyre smoke and endangering nearby motorists.
The user tagged the Bengaluru Police and urged action against the driver, writing: “Video from last night in Bengaluru. Lamborghini KA 05 NR 0009 seen repeatedly doing donuts at a public junction under a flyover while other vehicles were present, posing a safety risk. @blrcitytraffic, @BlrCityPolice, please look into this and take action if required.”
What did police officials say?
According to a report by Deccan Herald (DH), police officials stated that the driver performed stunts while circling the junction twice, adding that they were also seen standing out of the sunroof and screaming.
“Operating vehicles in a reckless manner on public roads is a non-negotiable violation of the law,” a senior traffic police officer told DH. “An FIR has been registered under sections pertaining to rash and negligent driving and endangering human life.”
