A screen grab from the viral video.
New Delhi, June 27
A TikTok video showing a man performing dangerous stunts on a Delhi Police car went viral on social media on Wednesday.
In the video, a shirtless man could be seen stepping out of the moving vehicle and doing push-ups atop the car in what seemed to be a deserted spot. The car had a beacon light mounted on the top and had Delhi Police inscribed on the bonnet.
According to the police, the vehicle belonged to a private contractor which was hired by the police for certain duties.

"The person in the video clip is not a policeman, but a friend of the private driver of the hired vehicle. The private contractor has been issued a show cause notice for the violation and necessary legal action will be taken against him," said a senior police officer.
The police also said that the clip appeared to be of an older date. — IANS
