Bike ride went viral - Court has given an apt punishment to get bail

 

He must have felt that prison was better than this!!

Gotla Alex Binoy, a BTech dropout, is a biker with forty thousand followers on Instagram. The 22-year-old Chennaite  performed a motorcycle stunt with his friends in Annasalai without permission from the authorities. The matter went viral on social media. Police registered a case. The boy approached the Madras High Court seeking anticipatory bail to avoid arrest. Justice AD ​​Jagadish Chandira granted bail subject to certain conditions.

 These are the conditions

1. An awareness video should be made at own cost and uploaded on Instagram to show the pitfalls of riding a two-wheeler without wearing a helmet and driving a car without wearing a seat belt.

2. Road safety awareness leaflets should be distributed at the traffic signal at Teynampet-Mount Road junction on three consecutive Mondays from 9.30 am to 10.30 am and 5.30 pm to 6.30 pm. The boy has to bear the cost of this.

3. An affidavit must be given to the court that he will not cause fear or injury to pedestrians and other two-wheelers by driving recklessly.

4. For three consecutive weeks, visit the trauma care center of the Rajiv Gandhi Government General Hospital and help the ward boys who attend to the patients who are injured in road accidents. This should be done on all days except Monday when traffic awareness is conducted.

5. One page report on daily experience at trauma care ward should be submitted to the duty doctor . The dean of the hospital should forward  it to the court.

 No doubt he caught the tiger’s tail, though the ride is viral!!
