A car struck two pedestrians on a footpath adjacent to an under-construction complex in Noida's Sector 94 on March 30.

A video doing rounds on social media showed a red sports car on the footpath, and workers wearing safety helmets and orange jackets running towards it. After the workers open the door, a man asks the driver, "stunt zyaada seekh liyo ho?" (Have you learnt a lot of stunts?) "Do you know how many people have died here?" the man said, to which the driver nonchalantly responded with a question ", Koi mar gaya hai idhar?" (Did anyone die here?)

The police said the workers were taken to a nearby hospital for treatment and are out of danger.

The driver got out of the car, and the man, who was recording the video, was heard saying, "Call the cops, call the cops," to which the driver said, "I gently pressed the accelerator," to which the man said, "Did you press it gently?"

The car is registered in the name of Mridul and was being driven by Deepak. The driver, Deepak, a resident of Ajmer, has been arrested and the car has been taken into custody. Sector-126 police station has registered a case and further legal action is being taken, Noida Police said to ANI.

The Puducherry-registered Lamborghini rammed a tree, and the front of the car was facing the opposite end of the road. The cops have taken the driver into custody and have seized the car.
