Wheelies, Burnouts & Brotherhood: Inside the world of Hyderabad's stunt bikers
From first-timers learning balance to pros perfecting burnouts and stoppies, the community is growing stronger.
'Building a community that values safety and does stunts the right way'
Bike stunts have long been a part of youth culture, but doing them on public roads puts everyone at risk. What's encouraging now is that more riders are seeking safer, structured ways to learn — from basic balance to advanced techniques.
So far, around 200 riders have trained here, and the focus is on building a community that respects road rules, values safety, and still enjoys the thrill of doing stunts the right way.

But beyond stunts, I also learned how to take care of bikes, how to fix minor issues, change the oil, and keep them running smoothly. The process made me appreciate bikes more, not just as machines, but as something you build a connection with when you ride and care for them.
— Syed Faizaan Hussain, lawyer & model
I learned how to ride a bike only earlier this year and now I can even do basic stunts. Thanks to the way we were trained, I picked things up quickly and got a chance to be part of a stunt sequence in the movie Laila. Before joining, I didn't know much about bikes but now I understand how to ride and perform stunts safely
— Syed Shah Abdul Samad Hussaini, marketing professional
'Wheelies can be dangerous if done without the right skills or gear.
I've seen riders get seriously hurt trying them on public roads. Devices like wheelie simulators lets you practice safely and learn proper control while wearing full protective gear,' Imam shares.
I started doing bike stunts from January this year. Being part of the bike stunt community has been a great feeling. I've made some really good friends here, and it made me realise how much hard work and patience goes into learning even a single stunt. More than anything, it taught me the importance of a safety-first approach, with the right gear, guidance, and mindset

New toll rates announced for Bengaluru–Chennai Expressway: All you need to know
Car and jeep users travelling on the newly constructed Karnataka segment of the Bengaluru–Chennai Expressway—from Hedigenabele near Hoskote to Sundarapalya near KGF—will soon be required to pay ₹185 for a one-way trip and ₹275 for a round trip. In the reverse direction, Sundarapalya to Hedigenabele, tolls will be slightly higher at ₹190 for a single journey and ₹280 for a round trip. The National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) has finalised toll rates for the 71-kilometre stretch connecting Hoskote and KGF (Bethamangala), which has been unofficially in use for over seven months. Toll collection will be distance-based, with four plazas set up at Hedigenabele, Agrahara, Krishnarajapura, and Sundarapalya. Light commercial vehicles (LCVs), light goods vehicles (LGVs), and minibuses will be charged ₹295 for a one-way journey from Hedigenabele to Sundarapalya, and ₹445 for a round trip. In the reverse direction, fares will be ₹305 and ₹455, respectively. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Play War Thunder now for free War Thunder Play Now Undo For larger vehicles such as trucks and buses, the toll from Hedigenabele to Sundarapalya will be ₹620 for a single trip and ₹930 for a round trip. From Sundarapalya to Hedigenabele, the charges will be ₹635 and ₹955. Monthly passes for cars are priced at ₹6,105 for 50 trips in one direction and ₹6,260 for the reverse route. Live Events While the expressway's smooth road conditions and high-speed limits (up to 120 kmph) have been a hit with daily commuters, the new toll rates may reduce the road's appeal. A senior NHAI official mentioned that toll collection will commence soon after system integration and coordination with the district administration. Since the expressway's unofficial opening, safety violations—particularly by two-wheelers—have raised concerns. Despite being banned, bikes have entered through gaps in the incomplete fencing, resulting in accidents. In response, NHAI has requested clearance to deploy home guards at toll booths and vulnerable points along the road. "Two-wheeler riders have been entering through gaps in the fencing. This is a serious safety risk. We've asked for clearance to station home guards until the boundary wall is fully built," the official said. Officials expect a possible decline in road usage once tolling begins, but believe the expressway will continue to benefit commuters traveling between eastern Karnataka and Tamil Nadu. To enhance last-mile connectivity, NHAI has also allocated funds to improve rural and district roads linking Sundarapalya with the Bengaluru–Kolar Expressway via Mulbagal. However, motorists are urging the government to address long-standing traffic jams between KR Pura and Hoskote. The congested stretch frequently cancels out the time saved on the expressway. "You zip through to KGF but get stuck for 40 minutes at KR Pura," said a regular commuter. "Fixing that needs to come first." [With TOI inputs]

Representative AI-generated image Indian businesses are projected to offer average salary increases between 6.2 per cent and 11.3 per cent this financial year, as companies adapt their workforce approaches with enhanced focus on skill certifications and performance-based engagement, according to a report released on Tuesday. The TeamLease Services - Jobs and Salaries Primer 2025-26 report, cited by news agency PTI, indicates that while average salary increases will range from 6.2 per cent to 11.3 per cent across sectors, certain role-specific increments could reach 13.8 per cent. "The projected salary growth, ranging from 6.2 per cent to 11.3 per cent, signals a broader realignment in India's job and wage landscape. As new-age industries scale rapidly, demand is shifting toward roles that combine technical capability with immediate business impact," TeamLease Services CEO - Staffing, Kartik Narayan said. The analysis, incorporating data from 1,308 organisations across 23 industries and 20 cities, reveals highest salary growth expectations in EV and EV infrastructure (11.3 per cent), consumer durables (10.7 per cent), retail (10.7 per cent), and NBFCs (10.4 per cent).

Delhiites can earn up to Rs 50k by reporting traffic offences: Here's how
Delhi Traffic Police has come up with a new way to not only curb violations but also reward vigilant citizens. The department has relaunched the Traffic Prahari app , a platform that lets users report violations. With the app, users can easily report traffic violations they witness in real time. All they need to do is register on the app using their phone number and email ID. Once registered, they can upload photos or videos of traffic rule violations directly through the app. The best part? People who report genuine cases can also win rewards. Delhi Traffic Prahari app: How does it work The app, equipped with geofencing and real-time tracking, enables users to capture photos or videos of offences such as red light jumping, wrong-side driving, road rage, or illegal parking. Once a report is filed - with time, date, location, and vehicle registration details, the Delhi Traffic Police verifies the complaint. If found valid, a challan is issued to the offender.

The system doesn't just stop at encouraging responsible behaviour, it actually rewards it. Every month, the top four citizens who submit the highest number of valid reports through the app are given in-app rewards. And here's the kicker: the best performer of the month can win a cash prize of up to Rs 50,000. The initiative is a modern evolution of Delhi's older Traffic Sentinel Scheme that first tried involving citizens back in 2015. Now, with better tech and wider accessibility, Traffic Prahari is being seen as a more impactful tool for change. Discover everything about the automotive world at Times of India .
