Karnataka High Court suggests community service for loud, rash Lamborghini driver

The Karnataka High Court on Friday stayed a criminal case registered against a man booked for allegedly driving a green Lamborghini in a reckless manner through Bengaluru traffic, the visuals of which had recently gone viral on social media. Justice M Nagaprasanna passed the order after the driver’s counsel submitted that he had already paid a Rs 8,500 fine for the incident over a month before the criminal case was registered.

The incident itself took place in December 2025, while the criminal case was registered a month-and-a-half later, after a video of the car speeding through traffic went viral recently on social media, the Court was told. The driver’s counsel added that retrofitted silencers on the vehicle had already been removed in compliance with the Road Transport Office’s (RTO) directives.

In response to a query from the judge, the driver’s counsel, Advocate Rajath, also said that the driver was willing to do community service, which is an alternative penalty provided for some minor offences under the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023 (BNSS).
