Two youths dressed as iconic comic book superheroes, Spiderman and Spider-Woman, were arrested on Friday for performing stunts on a motorcycle in South West Delhi's Dwarka. The ‘Spiderman couple’, as police described them, were riding on a bike with no number plate or mirrors. However, while one expects the culprits to be ashamed of flouting the law, the young Spiderman calls the arrest as a bucket list thing.

The "Spiderman" Aditya, aged 20 years old, and his friend "Spider-Woman" Anjali, aged 19 years old, recorded an Instagram reel of themselves riding on the bike while striking a titanic pose, titled "Spiderman Najafgarh Part 5". In the video, "Spider-Woman" walks up to the superhero after exiting the Najafgarh metro station and shakes hands.

Subsequently, she climbs on his bike following which they go riding on the streets of Delhi. As they zoom through, the "Spiderman couple" are seen talking to each other as they strike the iconic titanic pose for the camera. After the reel went viral, the Delhi traffic police took cognisance and arrested the two. The police issued a challan under Motor Vehicle Act.

According to police, a video made rounds on social media showing a person wearing a Spiderman costume and performing stunts on a motorcycle without a number plate and a helmet on the Urban Extension Road-II (UER II) in Delhi.

In the video, the man was later joined by a woman, who was also wearing the Spiderman costume. They were seen riding the motorcycle with the woman sitting pillion.

"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," a senior police officer said.

Previously, the young man who calls himself as "Najafgarh Spiderman" has taken to the streets of Delhi while donning his superhero attire many times. He is a resident of Najafgarh and runs an Instagram account called Indian Spidey Official, where he posts videos of his stunts. The girl also runs a page called Spideygwen Official.

The boy’s bio reads "Your Friendly Neighbourhood Indian Spidey" and the account has over 9,000 followers, with the viral video getting about 80,000 likes. A quick scroll through his Instagram page shows the "Indian Spidey" playing badminton, riding a tractor and dancing on trending songs.
