Hyderabad Police Arrest Two Drivers After Viral High‑speed Stunts on ORR and IT Corridor

Social‑media footage helped officers identify suspects and seize modified cars, prompting stepped‑up weekend patrols to curb dangerous driving and protect road users.

Overview

  • Police detained a 19‑year‑old degree student, Mohammed Rehwan, after Cyberabad Blue Colts‑I patrols intercepted a modified sedan in Knowledge City during the early hours of Sunday and seized the vehicle.
  • Narsingi police arrested 32‑year‑old Kothapally Yashwanth Reddy after tracing a May 10 video that showed him driving over 200 km/h on the Outer Ring Road and posted the clip to Instagram.
  • A constable, M. Ramesh, was injured when he tried to stop the Knowledge City car and will be cited in the case files; three occupants from that vehicle fled the scene and remain at large.
  • Authorities registered cases under sections of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita and the Motor Vehicles Act for dangerous driving, vehicle modification and related offences, and have deposited the seized cars with the court.
  • Police say weekend gatherings in the IT corridor regularly draw crowds who watch stunts, and they plan continued social‑media monitoring and intensified Friday–Sunday patrols even as some footage of forceful crackdowns has drawn public criticism.
