The Sri Sathya Sai district police have booked nine youths for performing dangerous bike stunts on a public road at Indukuru village in Mudigubba mandal on Sunday night. The youths had gathered to celebrate a friend's birthday, then began stunts that caused inconvenience to residents and commuters, said SP S. Satish Kumar. A case was registered and the Mudigubba circle police detained them for questioning. The SP warned of stringent action for repeat offences.
This is the second such case in the district within a week. On Wednesday, three youths, Sheikh Umar Farooq, 20, Sheikh Sameer, 19, and Vakkala Gnaneshwar alias Nani, 23, were arrested for stunts on the Puttaparthi bypass road. Their parents were called and counselled as part of a special police drive against bike stunts and illegal racing on public roads.
Reckless stunts on public roads are neither 'fun' nor 'freedom', they endanger lives. The narrative that police are 'spoiling youths' fun' ignores the terror they cause commuters, especially at night. This is a law-and-order issue, not a generational clash. The real test: will stricter enforcement hold repeat offenders, or will it fizzle out like past drives?
