The incident has sparked outrage and the police are now on the hunt for the driver and other occupants of the car.

The video captures the moment when the white Hyundai i20 was confronted by a police van on the busy Hindon Elevated Road. Despite the police van’s attempts to stop the car, the i20 driver continued to drive the car in reverse, successfully evading the police.

If found guilty, an individual can face a traffic challan or fine of up to ₹10,000 and a jail term of up to six months. Additionally, if the offense is repeated, the fine amount increases to ₹15,000 while the jail term could go up to two years.

The police are continuing the search for the driver and occupants of the Hyundai i20, and the incident serves as a reminder of the dangers of drunk driving. The video has also sparked discussions about the need for stricter enforcement and penalties for reckless driving.

The incident demonstrates the dangerous consequences of driving under the influence and the need for increased vigilance on the roads to prevent such incidents. The search for the individuals involved in the Hyundai i20 stunt continues, with investigations ongoing to hold them accountable for their actions.
