New Delhi, January 13, 2026: A wave of public indignation has been triggered following the viral spread of a video showcasing a group of bikers performing high-stakes stunts on a busy highway in Bihar. On January 11, 2026, the footage began circulating on social media, capturing several youths engaging in “wheelying” and high-speed maneuvers. The most shocking element of the recording is that these dangerous acts were performed directly in front of a stationary police vehicle, with the riders appearing completely unbothered by the presence of law enforcement.
The incident was recorded by a passenger in a trailing car who expressed disbelief at the sheer audacity of the stuntmen. In the video, multiple bikers are seen standing on their seats and weaving through traffic without helmets or safety gear. It was observed that although the police siren was audible and the patrol car was clearly visible on the shoulder of the road, no immediate attempt was made to intercept the lawbreakers. This perceived lack of action has led to a fierce debate regarding the effectiveness of road safety enforcement in the state.

As of January 13, 2026, the video has garnered millions of views and thousands of angry comments from citizens demanding stricter penalties. Many netizens have tagged the Bihar Police and the Director General of Police (DGP), urging them to identify the license plates of the vehicles involved. The “chilling indifference” shown by both the bikers toward the law and the officers toward the danger has been cited as a primary reason for the growing trend of stunt culture in the region.
In the wake of the online backlash, a formal investigation has been initiated by the local district authorities to identify the personnel present in the patrol vehicle at the time of the incident. It was stated by a senior police official that a “show-cause” notice would be issued to the officers involved to explain their lack of intervention. Furthermore, special teams have been formed to track down the stunt riders using the viral footage as digital evidence, with promises made that their driving licenses would be permanently cancelled.
This viral moment serves as a grim reminder of the rising “reels culture” where young individuals risk their lives and the lives of others for social media engagement. It was argued by road safety activists that unless exemplary action is taken against those who mock the law in public view, such incidents will continue to rise. As the investigation continues, the people of Bihar are calling for a more proactive approach to highway patrolling to ensure that public roads do not turn into lawless arenas for thrill-seekers.
