The Chief Justice has criticized the police for their handling of a car stunt incident on Masturi Road, where young men were observed performing dangerous stunts. The court has ruled that the 18 vehicles seized by the police cannot be released without court permission. The court noted that the police’s actions seemed to primarily target the poor and marginalized sections of society, while wealthy offenders are often treated leniently. The court has questioned the lack of more serious charges against the stunt performers for endangering other road users. The court has ordered the Chief Secretary of the Chhattisgarh government to submit an affidavit detailing the action taken. The next hearing has been scheduled for September 23, 2025. The incident involved individuals performing stunts on the roof and windows of their cars on a public road, causing traffic obstruction and endangering other drivers.
