Mangalore : In the past couple of days, a photo of a bike stunter performing a wheelie at the Lalbagh signal near the Mangalore City Corporation office even while a police constable was standing nearby, has been creating a buzz on social networks as well as on mobile messaging groups. Comments were being exchanged as to who the daring stunter was and regarding the inefficiency of the city cops in curbing such dangerous riding on public roads.

However all these rumours would now have to take a backseat, as the stunter has finally revealed himself, much to the surprise of many. The stunter Preetham, who has identified himself as a part of the stunting group Warlockz (WLz) in his Facebook post has stated that the entire exercise was an orchestrated one, and official as well.

The stunt he says, was performed as a part of a awareness movie shoot by the Mangalore City Traffic Police (MCTP). He quotes thus: “I Had A Childhood Dream Of Performing A Wheelie On A Busy Traffic In front Of Cops  Dat Dream Is No Longer A Dream #Mission_Accomplished  . BTW This Is A Shot From A Awareness Programme Movie Videographed By Mangalore City Traffic Police . I Thank Them For This Great Opportunity   More Pics From The Video Shoot Will Be Uploaded Soon #Lalbagh Signal — with Rajesh Acharya WLz and Warlocks WLz.”
