On learning that he and his female traveller were being filmed, the biker parked his vehicle on the roadside and expressed his fury. He yelled at the person shooting the incident and sarcastically asked him to even capture the number plate for the better.
The footage has gone viral on social media for its bizarreness and risk factor. Meanwhile, Hindi news portal Bharat Express identified the biker as a man named Zubair Shabbir.
