In the dead of the night, the Lamborghini was seen making its way through Anil Kumble Circle on MG Road in Bengaluru, drifting repeatedly in the wee hours of the night, somewhere between 2 and 3 am. The brazen display has since ignited a wider debate about whether wealth insulates the privileged from real accountability, and whether a fine is really enough on the streets of India’s tech capital.

The viral clip, which clearly shows the number plate KA 05 NR 0009, prompted a citizen to report the incident directly to the Bengaluru Police. After posting the video on

Police responded to the post for more details. Meanwhile, a sharp-eyed commenter turned to mParivahan and raised an obvious suspicion: that the car might not have been registered.

Meanwhile, a News18 reporter delved deeper and confirmed that an FIR has since been lodged. Turning to X with an update, he summed it up in one clear line: “Money can buy supercars — it shouldn’t buy immunity from the law.”

Reactions on social media

One user did not express any criticism, describing this act as not only irresponsible, but criminal negligence. They stressed that public roads are not racing tracks, and called for strict measures, severe penalties and license suspension as a minimum, and urged the authorities to act before this recklessness takes the life of someone.

The second commenter was much more sarcastic, cutting through the outrage with a blunt observation: Lamborghinis belong to the elite, and so, from their perspective, strongly worded posts are all one can expect in response.

A third echoed these doubts, saying clearly that everyone – including the authorities – already knew that nothing would be achieved as a result. They added that their only relief was that no one was killed.

A fourth focused his suspicions on the identity of the driver, wondering aloud whether he was the son of a construction worker or a sitting MLA. A News18 reporter who joined the thread struck a more optimistic note, expressing hope that Bengaluru Police would name and expose the person involved.

The fifth voice was a dissenting voice. They said they personally saw nothing wrong with the stunt, as long as no one was hurt, questioning the point of owning a Lamborghini if ​​one couldn’t push it to its limits. They go further, arguing that Indian city roads are riddled with potholes that make it impossible to truly enjoy such sophisticated machines anyway.

As for the sixth, he kept it short and clear, offering just four words that sum it all up: Money can’t buy class.
