Hyderabad:

Two students have been arrested for performing stunts in luxury SUVs in the middle of the outer ring road in Hyderabad. In CCTV footage from February 9, a Fortuner can be seen doing donuts (going around in circles using the handbrake) in the middle lane of the five-lane road while a BMW drives to the side after doing the same thing.

Police said the drivers of the vehicles had removed the number plates to avoid being identified but their faces could be seen on CCTV cameras. The RGI Airport police tracked down Mohammed Obaidullah (25), a resident of Rajendranagar, and Zohair Siddiqui (25), a resident of Malakpet, and arrested them on Monday. The luxury cars were also seized. 

“The students were doing stunts in two different cars on the ORR (Outer Ring Road) Shamshabad. The act was captured on the closed-circuit cameras installed on the ORR stretch. A video of the students performing the stunts has gone viral,” said an official.

Last week, the Managing Director of the Telangana State Road Transport Corporation, VC Sajjanar, who is a former additional director of police, shared a video of a boy performing a wheelie on a bike with a girl behind him. 

In a post on X, Mr Sajjanar wrote in Telugu, “These are some crazy things done in the name of ‘Valentine’s Day’!! Some couples are releasing such videos on social media, saying that they are doing amazing stunts on the occasion of Valentine’s Day.. as if they have achieved some kind of feat. You may find these strange stunts performed at high speed and in a dangerous manner funny… but imagine what will happen if an accident happens.”

ప్రేమికుల దినోత్సవం సందర్బంగా అదిరిపోయే స్టంట్లు అంటూ.. అదేదో ఘనత సాధించినట్లు కొన్ని జంటలు సోషల్ మీడియాలో ఇలాంటి వీడియోలను వదులుతున్నాయి.

“It is dangerous to do such stunts on the road to become famous on social media. Do not cause accidents and make your family members suffer by indulging in such adventures,” he added. 

Eleven school students in the US have been arrested for a violent fight at their high school. The incident took place at Matanzas High School in Palm Coast, Florida, on Monday afternoon in which the local police had to intervene. The Flagler County Sheriff’s Office posted the edited bodycam video showing the chaotic moments on X (formerly Twitter). The faces of the students are blurred in the 2 minute 51 second clip but they can be heard screaming and pushing a policeman.

Of the 11 arrested students, three face felony charges, ABC News said in a report.

All of the schools in Flagler County have at least two school resource deputies assigned to each campus and the two officers “immediately assisted teachers and administrators in attempting to break up the fight and disperse the crowd of on-lookers,” the outlet further said quoting the police.

“During the fight, a female student pushed Deputy King so they could attack another student. Deputy King grabbed the student and placed her in handcuffs. At the same time, Deputy Landi was working to control the situation and observed a male student run into the altercation. Deputy Landi then observed the student charging at a school staff member while swinging his arms, ultimately punching the staff member in the shoulder,” authorities said in their statement describing the chaotic situation.

“Another school administrator was attempting to escort a student away from the fight, when another male student ran up to the administrator and grabbed them. The student then battered the administrator before being taken to the Dean’s Office,” the statement further said.

Eight of the students had affidavits filed with the State Attorney’s Office recommending charges to be filed against them for misdemeanour offences, police said.

“The lack of respect demonstrated by these students is simply shameful. But actions have consequences. Parents, be the Sheriff in your home and teach your kids the importance of respecting teachers, staff, and deputies. Teach them how to handle disagreements and that fighting only leads to more violence. We have a zero-tolerance policy for violence at schools, and you will be arrested,” said Sheriff Rick Staly.

School authorities said parents of these students have been notified and an investigation into the cause of the fight is underway.
