HC grants bail to biker, directs him to campaign against reckless driving on Instagram

The Madras High Court has granted anticipatory bail to a young biker booked for performing stunts on the busy Anna Salai here on condition that he campaigns against reckless riding of motorcycles and drunken driving on his Instagram account, which has over 40,000 followers.

Justice A.D. Jagadish Chandira also directed the 22-year-old B.Tech dropout, Gotla Alex Binoy, to make an awareness video highlighting the dangers involved in riding motorcycles without helmets and driving four-wheelers without wearing seat belts and upload it on his Instagram account.

The judge further ordered that the advance bail petitioner should be present at the traffic signal in Teynampet-Mount Road junction on every Monday for three weeks and distribute pamphlets containing awareness messages on road safety between 9:30 a.m. to 10:30 a.m. and 5:30 p.m. to 6:30 p.m.
