The famous actor of Tollywood, Prithviraj always remains in the headlines due to his films. On Thursday, the Department of Motor Vehicles (MVD) announced the investigation after a video of actors Prithviraj and Dulquer Salman being involved in the race on the Kottayam-Kochi route went viral on social media. The video was tapped by two youths who chased the actors on their bikes, but no information related to this has been found yet. The Department of Motor Vehicles said that during the investigation it was ordered to find out if the actor was involved in rash driving. The cars involved in the incident were Porsche and Lamborghini models. Although the stars are yet to respond to the video, police officials say they do not currently have any evidence to suggest that the car was indeed overspeed.
“We have started an investigation to find out whether the actor was involved in driving the race or not. The MVD's Automatic Enforcement Wing (AEW) has been instructed to verify the motion detection cameras installed along the Kottayam-Kochi route. We cannot come to the conclusion to claim that the actors have violated the road-safety rules. If the cameras can detect the violation, the notice will be given to the owner of RC (Registration Certificate), ”said MVD Joint Transport Commissioner Rajeev Puthalath. After the person behind the wheels is identified, and if found guilty, it will be registered under section 184 of the Motor Vehicles Act.
Police officials said that two people on the bike trying to record the video were definitely trying to catch up with the cars. Two people riding on the bike have also not been identified. Since most of the cameras are chaotic, it would be difficult to detect speed violations, the official said. If convicted, they will have to pay a fine of Rs 1500 for the first offense or jail time for six months, and a fine of Rs 3,000 for the repeat.
