Overview
- Police traced and booked the driver on Wednesday under Section 281 of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita for rash and negligent driving after a viral dash-cam clip showed wrong-side driving near the Yashobhoomi Roundabout.
- Officers said the man stepped out of the car and allegedly abused the other motorist during the near miss, and they reported no injuries.
- Delhi Police shared the footage and case update on its official X account to confirm the identification of the vehicle and driver.
- Police later arrested a taxi driver identified as Ankit and seized the vehicle, and investigators said he used a fake registration number, leading them to add Section 345(3) of the BNS.
- The episode underscores how citizen video now speeds traffic enforcement on the Dwarka Expressway, a fast corridor where wrong-side driving can lead to head-on crashes.
