Hyderabad: In an unusual and risky event, a man, reportedly drunk, was spotted riding a camel on the PV Narasimha Rao Expressway on Saturday night. This expressway is off-limits to even two-wheeled vehicles.
The man, who is a camel handler, managed to ride onto the expressway and was seen moving rapidly on the flyover. Eyewitnesses reported seeing the camel almost reach the end of the expressway before the unusual sight drew public attention.
Having a large animal on the expressway posed significant danger to both the rider and the fast-moving vehicles on the restricted access road.
A group of people in a car noticed the strange and concerning scene. They began filming the incident and tried to take action.
