Singer Yasser Desai, 2 Others Booked For Performing Dangerous Stunt On Mumbai's Bandra-Worli Sea Link
The incident has drawn sharp criticism from the public, especially as it comes just weeks after a similar case involving singer-songwriter Yasser Desai. On July 8, the Bandra police registered a case against Desai and two accomplices for performing a life-threatening stunt on the Bandra-Worli Sea Link. Desai was seen standing on the edge of the bridge while two others filmed him.
According to the police, CCTV footage from the Sea Link showed Desai arriving in a car with two others around 6 am. The trio stopped their vehicle mid-bridge, and Desai climbed onto the edge while the others recorded the act. They left the spot shortly after, but the video soon went viral after being shared by motorists and concerned citizens on social media.
Desai was booked under multiple sections of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, including Section 125 (Act endangering life or personal safety of others), 285 (Danger or obstruction in a public way), and 281 (Rash driving), as well as provisions under the Motor Vehicles Act for dangerous driving. Police are still tracing Desai and his companions, who remain at large.
