A 25-year-old man has been arrested for allegedly endangering a minor after a video of him driving a luxury car with a child on its roof in Uttar Pradesh's Greater Noida went viral on social media.
In the footage, the child is seen lying on top of a DC Avanti sports car as it travels along a road. Another man can be seen running behind the vehicle. As the car slows down, the child appears to be cheering in excitement.
