In a dramatic incident that looked straight out of an action thriller, two men riding a motorcycle allegedly snatched a woman’s gold chain in Lucknow, Uttar Pradesh, and attempted to escape quickly. What they did not anticipate was that two other men in a car would decide to pursue them at full speed down a two-lane highway. The entire chase was recorded by one of the two men sitting inside the car. Later, they shared it on social media.
The video posted on X (formerly Twitter) showed the two vehicles locked in a nerve-wracking pursuit on a lightly trafficked road. The man recording the clip could be heard shouting repeatedly at the two men on the motorcycle, using strong language and warning nearby people that the pair were thieves who had just
robbed a woman.
The Men In Car Followed The Bike For Several Kilometres
Despite several attempts to corner the bikers, the car occupants were unable to intercept them. The bikers drove dangerously, narrowly escaping capture at multiple points during the chase. The two vehicles raced for several kilometres, with the men in the car refusing to give up so easily, and one of them continuously yelling for them to stop the bike.
At one heart-stopping moment, the car driver sped in an attempt to close the gap between them and the motorcycle, but the man in the passenger seat instantly warned him to slow down to avoid any potential mishap. The man filming insisted they continue chasing the bikers as far as possible and told the driver he had managed to note down the motorcycle’s licence plate number. Eventually, the bike riders took advantage of their smaller vehicle and dodged the car, then escaped into traffic.

“Don ko 15 mulko ki police dhoond rahi hai. Ab tak toh don samundar par kar chuka hoga,” another person joked.
