A couple in Delhi was apprehended on Friday for performing dangerous stunts on the streets of the national capital dressed up in body-con costumes of comic characters Spiderman and Spiderwoman.

While Marvel Comics’ anarchid abilities give the fictional characters superpowers making it possible for them to swing across skyscraper buildings, the nabbed couple seemed to want to imitate the characters on their motorbike on the city’s roads.

After a video of the duo’s stunts in Dwarka on a bike without a number plate went viral on social media, Delhi Police apprehended them and booked them under the Motor Vehicle Act for various offenses including dangerous driving and riding without helmets among others.

Following an inquiry, the identity of the daring rider was revealed as 20-year-old Aditya and his 19-year-old friend, both residents of Najafgarh. Both of them are quite popular on social media.

The rider has been booked under sections 5/180, 194D, 3/181, 177, 125(2) CMVR/177, 184 MV Act, 50,51 CMVR/39/192 MV Act and 209 MV Act.

Meanwhile, earlier this month, a 20-year-old man was arrested by Delhi Police for indulging in reckless driving and dangerous stunts in Subhash Nagar in West Delhi.

He had also posted videos of the act on social media to garner followers and misguiding impressionable youth, the Delhi Police said. (ANI)
