Mahindra Thar Drowns During Off-Roading Stunt Near Delhi
A group of friends who love driving their cars on tough, unpaved paths called off-roading, went on an adventure near Delhi.
They were part of a group called 'Gang of Thars.'
During their trip, they decided to drive one of their big cars, a Mahindra Thar, into a lake.
The car ended up sinking in the water!
Luckily, the person driving the car was able to get out safely and was surprised they made it.
Other friends then used another Thar to pull the sunken car out of the water.
Sometimes, people think cars like the Mahindra Thar are used for dangerous stunts, and the police have noticed this pattern.
