Police said, “On Wednesday, Manohar, while returning from college, performed a wheelie on his bike on RT Nagar Main Road and his friend recorded the stunt. He then posted the video on Facebook after reaching home. The stunt, besides causing fear and concerns to passersby, had also created traffic jams and tension in the area.”
