We signalled them to stop, but they took a U-turn and started riding against the traffic. We chased and caught all of them."
Mumbai Police have been conducting nakabandis to curb the menace of bike racing.
In October last year, a mid-day photographer caught a group of young bikers perform dangerous stunts, and without helmets on the Bandra to Govandi stretch at 12.30 am. In the same month, a video went viral on social media showing a biker performing some dangerous stunts at the famous Marine Drive stretch in Mumbai. The biker was seen switching between stunts while driving his bike at a high speed on the road alongwith the ongoing traffic.
Apart from Marine Drive, another 'racing' track is Bandra Reclamation east bound stretch that starts after the sealink towards the Western Express Highway.
