New Delhi, April 1 Taking cognizance of a video circulating online, the Delhi Police has identified and initiated legal action against a man for driving on the wrong side of the Dwarka Expressway, an official said on Wednesday.
"Police traced the vehicle and its driver and registered a case under Section 281 (rash and negligent driving) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS)," a senior police officer said.
