Ahmedabad police have started investigating a birthday celebration on Naroda’s 108 Road after a video showed youths parking around six cars along the roadside, cutting a cake and fleeing when a police vehicle arrived. The celebration allegedly obstructed traffic and left waste on the public road.
The incident was reported from the Naroda area, where the vehicles were parked in a line while the group gathered for the birthday celebration. According to the video cited by Gujarat Samachar, the youths threw the cake onto the road and cars before leaving the spot after noticing the police vehicle.
The reported conduct has raised concerns over the use of a public road for private celebrations and the disruption caused to other road users. The report states that the parked vehicles created an obstruction for traffic. Cake and other material were also left on the road, adding to the public-space and cleanliness concerns around the incident.
Naroda police are examining the viral video and using the vehicle registration numbers visible in it to identify the car owners and the people involved. The reported investigation concerns possible action for obstructing traffic on a public road and disturbing public peace.
The incident also highlights the enforcement challenge posed by short, informal gatherings that occupy carriageways or roadside space without permission. In this case, the group dispersed before police could intervene directly, leaving the vehicle numbers and video footage as the reported basis for further inquiry.
A separate claim circulating on social media says that one of the cars may belong to a local Bharatiya Janata Party leader from the Sardarnagar area. Gujarat Samachar reported that neither the police nor the party had officially confirmed the ownership claim. The report also mentioned alleged local efforts to prevent a police complaint, but that claim has not been officially established.
No official confirmation of the alleged political connection or pressure was reported. The police investigation, as described in the source report, is focused on identifying the vehicle owners and participants and determining whether legal action is warranted under the applicable provisions for traffic obstruction and disturbance of public order.
The next step is expected to be verification of the vehicle numbers and examination of the video by Naroda police before any action is taken against the people involved.
