Man pushes birthday present (BMW) into river

An Indian man apparently angered at getting a BMW for his birthday – instead of a Jaguar – pushed the new vehicle into a river. The young man, only known as Akash, from Haryana in northern India, was given a BMW M3 car by his mother and father.

Video posted on social media shows it floating away on the river in the northern Indian state of Haryana. It later got stuck on a bank of tall grass and the man, said to be the son of a local landlord, tried to rescue it.

Police are investigating the incident, local media report. BMW cars cost around (£41,400; $49,000) locally, with Jaguars costing about 4-5m rupees.
