Delhi Police has identified the man, who was seen performing dangerous stunts in a high-end white car at the heavily guarded Vijay Chowk area on Saturday, as Sarvesh Sindhu, the nephew of Haryana Finance Minister Captain Abhimanyu.
Sarvesh, whose rash driving triggered outrage, is the son of the BJP leader's brother Rudra Sen Sindhu.
The entire incident, that took place at around 4 am on Saturday, was recorded in the CCTV camera installed in the area.
The sound of the speeding car and its engine cautioned the security personnel deployed in the area.
After the incident came to light, the police conducted a massive search which led to the recovery of the white Nissan GT-R sports car, costing more than Rs 2 crore and owned by Sarvesh, from a farmhouse in Delhi's Kapasera area.
