Identifying the man as Atul, the local police have launched a search operation to apprehend him.
The Divisional Forest Officer (DFO), Gaurav Sharma, stated that they were able to identify Atul based on the bike number seen in the viral video, which is registered in the Reethi police station area of the district.
