PTC News Desk: A group of people in Karnataka were performing stunts on a busy road to shoot reels for social media platforms. Many commuters and motorists were fed up with them and taught the desperados a hard lesson. A crowd, next, tossed two scooters off a flyover after they disrupted the traffic on a busy flyover near Bengaluru with their stunts.
The incident occurred on 15 August, when several people were performing dangerous stunts on a flyover in Nelamangala, near Bengaluru, on their two-wheelers. Angered by this, the commuters decided to take matters into their own hands, throwing two scooters from the flyover and onto the road below, as other motorists saw the incident. Those performing stunts, however, managed to flee the scene.

The video is growing viral on social media. Reacting to the video, some netizens showed disappointment with the stunt performers' conduct, while others praised commuters' reaction to throwing their bikes off the road.
“This is not good. How will these reel-addict kids do wheelies and endanger people on the roads? We will only become 5 trillion reel economy by letting them upload 5 trillion reels by doing these stunts,” one individual commented.
Another user remarked, "They saved two nibbas from an accident, good job!" A third person said, “No other options left for the frustrated public but it would have killed pedestrian going down the street, taking law in hand is a serious offence."
