In an incident that seems more like a scene from a Bollywood thriller than real life, a handcuffed criminal was seen riding a motorbike in Mainpuri, Uttar Pradesh, while a police constable sat on the pillion seat. The strange situation was caught on camera by a passerby, and the video quickly went viral after being shared on social media platform X (formerly Twitter).
Unusual Scene on Mainpuri Streets
The bizarre video shows a criminal, whose hands are tied with a rope, riding a motorcycle down the streets of Mainpuri, Uttar Pradesh. What makes this scenario even stranger is that the police constable is sitting behind him on the bike, fully equipped with a helmet, while the criminal is riding without any protective gear. A long rope connects the criminal’s wrist to the constable’s hand, adding to the oddity of the situation.
A Strange Request From the Constable
According to reports from The Free Press Journal, the constable, feeling cold in the winter weather, reportedly asked the handcuffed criminal to take over the riding duties. It seems that the officer, not wanting to ride himself in the chilly weather, trusted the prisoner to navigate the busy streets.
