Video shocker: Blackbucks run for dear life on Maharashtra highway as crazy motorist drives in hot pursuit

<p>
Indian Forest Service officer Susanta Nanda on Tuesday shared a shocking incident of a crazy motorist chasing two blackbucks which are sprinting down a highway to get away from the danger. While the animals are going through this extreme trauma and running for their lives, the sadistic vehicle driver appears to be quite enjoying himself as he continues to record the chase.</p>

This driver must be crazy chasing black bucks in their own territory. Driving wild animals amount to hunting under Wildlife Protection Act, punishable with a imprisonment of 3 yrs,which may extend to 7 years.<br />
Anyone knowing the details of the driver?<br />
