SRINAGAR, Dec 27: Jammu and Kashmir Police have registered a case against two individuals, including social media influencer Imad ur Rehman Miya, for allegedly performing dangerous driving stunts on snow-covered roads at Gulmarg ski resort in Baramulla district. An FIR was lodged at Police Station Gulmarg on Tuesday under Sections 281 (rash and negligent driving) and 125 (acts endangering life or personal safety) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, along with Section 184 of the Motor Vehicles Act. The accused have been identified as Imad ur Rehman Miya and Mohammad Munzarin Kullu, both Srinagar residents. Imad, who runs Imadclicks, a Srinagar-based photography firm, and his associate were caught indulging in reckless driving on snow-covered roads, creating life-threatening situations for pedestrians and other commuters in the tourist area. Police seized the vehicles involved on the spot and initiated legal proceedings against the accused. Besides legal action, both individuals were counseled and warned against repeating such behavior. “They were advised to follow traffic rules strictly, especially during snowfall and slippery road conditions,” police said. This is not Imad’s first brush with law enforcement. On October 5, he was booked by Budgam Police under the Indian Forest Act for allegedly trespassing into forest land after removing a barricade and leading a convoy of Thar vehicles into the protected area. He later uploaded a 12-minute video of the incident on social media, triggering intense online debate. The latest incident has raised concerns about social media influencers flouting traffic and safety regulations to create content, particularly in sensitive tourist areas during peak winter season.
