Not far away from jail: ‘Spiderman’ arrested for driving dangerously on Delhi streets - Video

It's not Andrew Garfield or Tom Holland or Tobey Maguire, the Delhi Traffic Police on Wednesday (Jul 24) took action against a local 'Spiderman' for flouting traffic rules, news agency ANI reported.

Police on Wednesday (Jul 24) said they received a complaint on social media about a car seen on Dwarka roads with a person dressed as Spiderman on its bonnet.

Police said that the person in the Spiderman costume was identified as Aditya (20) who residesin Najafgarh region in Delhi. The driver of the vehicle was identified as Gaurav Singh (19).

The owner and driver of the vehicle have been prosecuted for dangerous driving, driving without a pollution certificate, and not wearing a seatbelt, with a possible maximum fine of Rs. 26,000 and/or imprisonment or both.

This is not the first case, it appears Delhi has become quite accustomed to these self-declared superheroes. But police have raised serious concerns and taken action wherever necessary.

Earlier this year, in April, a couple in Delhi was nabbed for performing dangerous stunts on the streets of the national capital dressed up in body-con costumes of comic characters Spiderman and Spiderwoman.

As quoted by news agency PTI, a senior police officer had said, "Two persons were riding a bike and wearing Spiderman costumes. An inquiry into the matter was conducted and the riders have been booked under different sections of the Motor Vehicle (MV) Act for offences without a helmet, without a mirror, without a licence, dangerous driving, and not displaying a number plate etc."
