A video had surfaced on the internet purportedly showing the performance SUV being driven at a speed of 252 kmph on the Bandra-Worli Sea Link, which is much more than the posted speed limit. It is believed that this incident took place earlier this month and the matter came to light after the clip went viral on social media.

After the video gained attention, traffic and police officials took cognizance of the matter and started investigation. A case has been registered at Worli police station under sections related to dangerous and rash driving, and the vehicle has been seized as part of the investigation.
According to police sources, in the footage, a yellow Lamborghini Urus is seen overtaking other vehicles at high speed on the C Link. It is being told that this video was uploaded on social media, after which complaints were received and the authorities took immediate action. Authorities are currently verifying the authenticity of the clip, verifying the speed shown, and determining the circumstances under which it was recorded.
Officials have also said that the same vehicle has already received e-challans for speeding on the Sea Link earlier this year. The person named in the FIR is reportedly a Mumbai-based car dealer, although officials have clarified that the ownership details and responsibility are still being investigated.
The Bandra–Worli Sea Link, officially known as the Rajiv Gandhi Sea Link, is a major thoroughfare connecting the western suburbs of Mumbai with South Mumbai. The speed limit on the bridge has been fixed at 80 km per hour.
Police officials have said that further action will be based on the results of the ongoing investigation, which includes examining CCTV footage and vehicle records.
