The incident took place on June 4 around 2 am on the road connecting Yeshwanthpur and Goraguntepalya. An ambulance was rushing a patient to hospital with sirens blaring when motorcyclists allegedly overtook the vehicle and did wheelies instead of yielding the right of way.

According to witnesses, the riders were not wearing helmets and the number plates of the two-wheelers were not visible. They continued their stunts in front of the ambulance, obstructing its path despite the emergency vehicle’s siren.

Family members accompanying the patient recorded the incident on their mobile phones. The video has since gone viral on social media and sparked widespread public outrage.

Citizens condemned the actions of the bikers and demanded strict legal action against those responsible. Many demanded that the police identify the rider using the viral video and register criminal cases, saying such behavior goes beyond a traffic offense and poses a threat to human life.

According to road traffic rules, drivers are obliged to give way to ambulances. The traffic police took note of the viral footage.
