2 held for filming reel on Pune-Bengaluru highway, disrupting traffic: Police
Police said the men allegedly stopped and positioned the vehicles on the highway without permission to shoot a video
Two men are under arrest after allegedly obstructing traffic on the Pune-Bengaluru Highway, according to police reports. The incident occurred on August 27, when Bavdhan police reported a traffic jam between Balewadi and Bhujbal Chowk. The men, Somnath Ashok Kedari and Ajay Sambhaji Yadav, were seen stopping their two newly purchased SUVs on the highway to film them, which drew the attention of the police.
The Bavdhan police detained the two men, while the Pimpri-Chinchwad police seized the SUVs. Senior police inspector Arvind Pawar stated that the men deliberately positioned the vehicles to interfere with traffic flow, creating a potentially dangerous situation on the busy highway. Police registered a first information report (FIR) under various provisions of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS) and are investigating the incident.
The case has once again underscored the dangers of filming social media content on busy highways, as such attempts can endanger those involved and other road users.
