Four booked for halting traffic on Pune-Bengaluru highway to shoot car reel
The Bavdhan police have registered a case against four individuals for allegedly causing traffic congestion on the Pune-Bengaluru highway to record a celebratory video for a newly purchased car. The incident occurred on August 27 around 4:15 pm on one of the busiest stretches of the highway, between Sahyadri Mahindra showroom and Bhujbal Chowk in Wakad.
According to the police complaint, the group obstructed traffic by stopping their vehicles in the middle of the road and recording a drone video, endangering other commuters. A viral video shows a black SUV, decorated with a floral garland, halting in the middle of the highway. The four accused include Somnath Ashok Kedari, 32, the owner of the new SUV, the drivers of two Fortuner SUVs who reportedly escorted and blocked traffic, and Soham Chavan, owner of SC Photography, who was hired to shoot the video.
The accused have been booked under various sections of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita and the Motor Vehicles Act, including endangering public safety, reckless driving, disobeying lawful orders, and obstructing a public way.
