These daredevils are a part of the Janbaaz motorcycle group of the BSF. The Janbaaz Motorcycle team, a Border Security Force initiative since 1990, features elite regiment members skilled in bike stunts. From 2000 to 2014, they performed remarkable stunts, earning 3 world records. In 2015, they impressed honourable PM Shri Narendra Modi and former US President Barack Obama, who showed a thumbs up right after their scintillating performance and even appreciated the Janbaaz team in American media. Inspector Awadhesh led them until 2018, setting 17 new world records.
In 2018, Inspector Awadhesh’s daring stunt drew attention, despite an accident. The Janbaaz team completed 50+ successful programs nationwide. In 2022, they celebrated India’s 75th Independence Year, led by Inspector Awadhesh and Inspector Vishwajeet, with support from BSF DG Shri Pankaj Kumar IPS. Their zeal attracted dignitaries like honourable Home Minister, Shri Amit Shah who appreciated these valiant bikers.
During this period, they aimed for world records to promote government social welfare initiatives. Two rallies took place in September 2022, one led by Inspector Vishwajeet and another by Inspector Awadhesh. The BSF and India Book of Records families worked together on various awareness initiatives since 2018. Current BSF DG Shri Nitin Agarwal IPS invited the India book of Records team and the Janbaaz team to his office and honored the Janbaaz team for their bravery and support. He has appreciated the daring stunts and their performance while extending all support required for their continued excellence.
