Four youths, including a 19-year-old degree student, were booked by the police after a modified car was involved in dangerous driving and stunt-like racing activity in Knowledge City of Raidurgam during the early hours of Sunday (May 24, 2026).
The incident was reported at around 12.30 a.m. when Blue Colts-I patrol personnel attached to the Cyberabad police were conducting night patrolling near My Home Bhooja, T-Hub and Niloufer Road. Acting on a tip-off about a car being driven recklessly in the area, the patrol team rushed to the spot and intercepted the sedan vehicle bearing registration number AP10AL5684.
According to the police, the car was being driven in a rash and dangerous manner, making heavy sounds and repeatedly taking rounds on the stretch between the Indian Oil petrol pump and the Niloufer–My Home Bhooja Road, causing disturbance to the public in the area.
When the police personnel attempted to stop the vehicle, the driver accelerated aggressively and tried to flee from the spot. During the attempt to intercept the vehicle, police constable M. Ramesh sustained injuries.
Videos of the incident circulated widely across social media platforms, drawing sharp reactions from netizens.
Police later identified the driver as Mohammed Rehwan (19) a second-year degree student at G. Pulla Reddy College. He is a resident of Feroz Gandhi Nagar in Asif Nagar, Mehdipatnam. Three other youths identified as Owasis, Ayan and Waseem, who were present in the vehicle, fled from the spot after the incident.
The police seized the modified car and took the driver into custody. A case was registered under Sections 125 and 121(2) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita along with Sections 184, 182(A)(4) and 181 of the Motor Vehicles Act.
The accused will be produced before the court and remanded to judicial custody, while the vehicle would also be deposited before the court.
This is not the first time such case has been reported in the Knowledge City area. Following repeated cases of youngsters gathering on weekends and performing dangerous driving acts, special enforcement drives and intensified vigil have been in place from Friday to Sunday to curb such activities.
