Over two dozen bikers created nuisance by illegally holding a horse cart race on the Mumbai-Ahmedabad highway on Christmas night. They not only slowed down the traffic, but also posed a threat to others by shattering empty beer bottles on the road, alleged a motorist who recorded the incident on his mobile phone.

The witness told mid-day that the horse cart race started at Dahisar toll naka and went towards Ghodbunder Road on Saturday night. “I was heading towards Gujarat from Mumbai on Saturday night. Just as I crossed Dahisar toll naka, I saw a huge gathering of motorcyclists and two carts, each pulled by two horses,” said the witness on condition of anonymity. “I stopped to see what was happening. The bikers were waiting for the clock to turn 12, and as it did, both the horse carts took off as the riders caned the horses. Over two dozen motorcyclists followed the carts, and some of the pillion riders recorded the race on their cellphones,” the witness added.
