The accused were allegedly riding high-speed scooters recklessly to create viral content, putting the lives of other commuters at extreme risk.

The incident came to light when a video surfaced on social media platforms showing three youths riding scooters without registration number plates and performing high-risk maneuvers near a commercial area during late hours.
