26 Luxury Cars Including Maserati, Porsche Seized After Class 12 Students Organise Illegal ‘Farewell Rally’
Most schools in India organize a farewell celebration for the students studying in the 12th standard. On this day, they are allowed to wear suits, dresses, and sarees and attend the event before saying goodbye to their school. Now, in most places, these students also bring their parents’ cars as well in order to show off. However, recently, this showing off became a little troublesome for students of a school from Gujarat. These kids illegally organized a luxury car rally with over 26 cars, and as a result, their vehicles have been seized by police authorities.
A video showing these young kids flaunting their parents’ luxury cars has been shared on Instagram. In this short clip, numerous kids from Fountainhead School near Surat arranged a convoy of over 26 cars to reach their school’s farewell function. These kids were seen standing out of the sunroofs and windows of super expensive luxury cars.
The convoy of these students’ car rally included cars like a BMW X7, Land Rover Defender, Maserati Levante, Porsche 718 Cayman Spyder, BMW 5-Series, Mercedes-Benz E-Class, Kia Carnival, Toyota Fortuner Legender, and many others. A few of these kids were also seen waving toy guns while standing out of the sunroofs of these moving cars.
They were also playing loud music on public roads and blocking traffic. As per reports, the school did not allow these students’ car convoy to enter the school premises. Also, the authorities from the school highlighted that they did not organize the rally and that it was completely organized by the students.
Police authorities have detained these cars
A video showing the interview of a police officer has also been shared online. In this video, the officer highlights that the students did not take any prior permission to organize a car rally. After receiving complaints regarding this rally, the police authorities took action and detained the cars involved.
He stated that so far, they have identified 26 cars with the help of the number plates shown in the video. Also, he added that they have managed to detain 12 cars and have made contact with the owners of 5 more cars. The police official mentioned that currently, 9 cars out of these 26 are out of the city and will be detained once they come back.
As for the action that will be taken against the students, the police officer mentioned that as these students are just going to start their careers, appropriate action will be taken against them, which may not hurt them in the future but will help them learn their lesson.
Not the first time
This is not the first time that we have seen school students organizing an illegal rally and doing reckless acts on public roads. A while ago, a video from Lakhimpur, Uttar Pradesh, was shared online. In this video, after celebrating a farewell party at their school, a few youngsters drove on the public roads in the Vinay Green City area of Lakhimpur Kheri in 12 cars in a reckless manner, following which their cars were seized by the police authorities.
These kids were seen hanging out of cars, including Hyundai Venue, Creta, and Aura, Maruti Suzuki Vitara Brezza, Ertiga, and Swift, Toyota Innova, and Mahindra Quanto, along with others. A total fine of Rs 2.14 lakh was collected from the owners of these cars.
