Following an inquiry with the transport corporation’s control room, the bus was identified. Based on clues from various sources, the investigating team also managed to trace the motorcycle’s registration number.

Further investigation revealed that the motorcycle had been sold by the registered owner more than 13 years ago. However, since the ownership transfer process had not been completed, police approached the original owner, who fully cooperated with the investigation.

Three dedicated police teams were formed to locate the motorcycle and identify the rider. Eventually, both the rider and the vehicle were tracked down.

Legal action has been initiated against the rider. As the motorcycle was found to be over 15 years old, it was handed over to a scrapper as per the law.

Delhi Police have urged all motorists to strictly adhere to road safety rules and avoid performing dangerous stunts that put lives at risk, stating that swift and stringent enforcement will continue to ensure public safety.
