Bengaluru Lamborghini Drifting Case Centers on Driver as Ricky Rai Says He Was Not at the Wheel

Investigators are using CCTV of repeated late-night donuts to identify the driver and test a reckless driving case.

Overview

  • The viral clip, recorded early Saturday at Anil Kumble Circle on MG Road, led Cubbon Park Traffic Police to file a suo motu case and seize the Lamborghini.
  • Police say CCTV shows the car looping the junction in repeated drifts that risked public safety, and they warned penalties could include canceling the car’s registration.
  • Ricky Rai appeared before the Cubbon Park Traffic Police with anticipatory bail, submitted documents and sought the car’s release, and said he was a passenger rather than the driver.
  • His lawyer said a chauffeur was driving, argued the slides were a brake-induced skid on a freshly laid road, and praised the driver as “talented” for regaining control.
  • Investigators are checking ownership with the RTO since the car was first registered in Delhi, and a senior officer told Times of India the chauffeur has admitted to driving as the probe continues.
