On court order, arrested biker gives awareness pamphlets to motorists

Alex Binoy Gotla (22) from Hyderabad, who was booked for performing bike stunts on Anna Salai a month ago, distributed road safety awareness pamphlets to motorists on the same road near Teynampet on Monday.

His community service was part of the conditions imposed by the Madras high court while granting anticipatory bail on September 27. Apart from this, the court also required him to spend time at the trauma ward in the Rajiv Gandhi Government General Hospital (RGGGH).

City police said that Alex must spend an hour each in the morning and evening at the traffic junction in Teynampet on every Monday for 3 weeks.

He distributed pamphlets with awareness messages about drunk driving, reckless driving, and the necessity of wearing seat belts and helmets while driving.

Advocate Ramachandran representing Alex said that on other days, except on Sunday, he’ll spend time at RGGGH’s trauma ward until noon and assist the duty doctors.

The Chennai Police had arrested at least 5 youths for bike stunts on Anna Salai including Alex.

A video of their dangerous stunts went viral on social media, in which they were seen wheeling and doing other tricks near Teynampet police station, moving towards Anna flyover.
