The Bandra police on Tuesday registered a case against singer-songwriter Yasser Desai, 35, and two others for allegedly committing an act endangering life after he climbed onto the edge of the Bandra-Worli Sea Link (BWSL) in Mumbai and performed a life-threatening stunt. Police are currently searching for Desai and the two others who filmed the stunt and are yet to arrest them.
According to the police, based on the social media posts, they reviewed CCTV footage from the BWSL and determined that an individual had stopped his car upon reaching the sea link and stood on the edge of the bridge. He and two others were present at the spot. He climbed onto the edge of the bridge while the other two recorded his stunt. Later, they left the location in the same car.
