Indian Express3 days ago
Several incidents of content creators breaking law and order or even risking their lives to make Instagram reels have been reported recently. A video showing a 22-car convoy blocking a road in Gurgaon to make Instagram reels has now caught the Internet's attention, sparking outrage.
The now-viral video, shared by X user Dr Leena Dhankhar, shows several cars stopped in the middle of the road, while a few men are seen recording the 'scene' on what appears to be phone cameras. Some people can be seen seated in the first car of the convoy, a convertible, posing for the camera. The video continues to capture the entire convoy, with several men managing the movement of the cars.
Sharing the clip, Dhankhar wrote, 'Aston Martin, sirens, and lawlessness on full display in Gurugram. 22 cars. Hooligans blocking a key road near Sector 108 for #reel-making. Blared #illegal hooters, disrupted #traffic for over 7 minutes. Residents fuming.'
'Not a film shoot—just another day of arrogance on #wheels.Thankfully, police have booked the #culprits and will seize all vehicles, including the ₹4 crore Aston Martin,' she added.

The video drew criticism, with several social media users demanding strict action against the 'hooligans.' A user wrote, 'Seems like jungleraaj is running gurgaon similar to lalu yadav time Bihar. These people have free land money that they sold when real-estate prices went high in gurgaon. They are all chapris. They think road is also their father's property creating ruckus.'
Another user commented, 'shifted from delhi to gurugram hoping for a better life , realising some day that its worst here . no covic sense , no traffic sense , unplanned city , no traffic police. on roads, wrong lane driving everywhere, black thars, scorpios could be seen threatning.'
'Trust no action will be taken, men in uniform will be shaken by the cost of these vehicles to understand panga nahin lene ka… hence the courage of these pathetic lunatics,' a third user reacted.

Man Pushes Woman Filming Reel At Railway Station: ‘Ye Tamasha Karne Ki Jagah Hai Kya?'

As the woman twirls and comes in front of the two men, one of them pushes her aside. A video from a train station showing a confrontation between a woman and a man has sparked widespread debate online. While some viewers have backed the man's actions, others believe he crossed the line. The incident took place when a woman was recording a dance video as she got off a train. She continued performing in front of the camera, but when she moved close to two men standing nearby, one of them appeared to lose patience and suddenly pushed her away. Woman Confronted While Recording Reel In the video, the woman, dressed in a top and jeans, is seen dancing and looking straight into the camera while stepping off the train. It is clear she is filming herself. As she twirls and comes in front of the two men, one of them pushes her aside. 'Pagal ho kya tum? (Are you mad?)," the woman said to him. The man replied, 'Ye tamasha karne ki jagah hai kya? (Is this a place to put on such a show?)." The woman then questioned, 'Dhakka kaise diya aapne? (Why did you push me?)." She told him she would report the matter to the police. The argument between the two continues while onlookers gather at the station. Two men step in and try to calm things down, but neither side backs off. At one point, another woman getting off the train listened as the dancer explained her side. The man also tells her why he pushed the woman. This bystander told him that instead of pushing, he should have spoken politely. Following this, the man apologised to the woman for his actions. Video Sparked Strong Reactions Online As the video gained traction, online opinion remained sharply divided. A user commented, 'Respect for uncle," while another wrote, 'Uncle did a good job, these TikTokers need such treatment everywhere." Someone else questioned, 'He is right. What about his privacy then??" Others took the woman's side, with a person writing, 'She was making a reel and there's absolutely nothing wrong with it. The comments section clearly depicts how much hatred people have inside of them, so they just look forward to such opportunities to vent out their aggression. Sick and Shame!! Heights of hypocrisy when the same people are freakin reel scrollers!!" Some users also claimed the video might have been 'scripted." The trend of recording videos anywhere, regardless of surroundings, shows no sign of slowing down. Just a few days ago, shocking footage surfaced online where a young man was seen stepping out of a moving train and running along its narrow edge casually, all for an Instagram reel. The dangerous act triggered massive outrage on social media. Many questioned how far people are willing to go in the chase for online fame and urged authorities to take strict action before such stunts turn fatal.

Gurugram Man Loses Rs 8,000 In Tyre Puncture Scam, Here's How

A Gurugram man recently shared how he was scammed by a petrol pump tyre shop after encountering a simple flat tyre. Taking to Instagram, Pranay Kapoor posted a video detailing the ongoing scam at certain tyre shops located within petrol stations. "Got Scammed at a Petrol Pump Tyre Shop," he captioned the post. In the clip, Mr Kapoor explained that while driving, he noticed a warning light indicating a flat tyre. He promptly drove to the nearest petrol station, where a staff member inspected the tyre and confirmed it was indeed flat. The employee told Mr Kapoor that the tyre needed to be removed for a thorough check. After lifting the car using a jack, the tyre shop worker sprayed soapy water over the tyre and brushed it across the surface, all in front of Mr Kapoor. The staff member proceeded to remove a visible screw from the tyre, but then claimed that there were four separate punctures that needed fixing. He said each puncture required a mushroom patch and quoted Rs 300 per patch, totalling Rs 1,200 for all four. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Pranay Kapoor (@pranaykapooor) However, instead of agreeing to the repair, Mr Kapoor decided to visit a proper tyre repair shop. There, a qualified technician checked the tyre and informed him that only one puncture was genuine, but the others were likely made deliberately by the petrol pump worker to inflate the bill. The technician then showed Mr Kapoor a thorn-like tool that scammers use to create fake punctures while pretending to check the tyre. Eventually, the tyre had to be replaced entirely, costing Mr Kapoor Rs 8,000. "Don't make the expensive mistake I made. Share this video with your friends and family to warn them," he said in the video. Internet users were quick to react to the video. While some shared similar experiences, others expressed shock. "Oh shoot, this has happened with me at least thrice now over the past 9 months and each time I've just been like what even is happening!" one user wrote. "Learnt it the hard way like you. Now I always sit on top of them and ask them to remove any things from there fingers before they start the process," commented another. "Something similar happened to my two wheeler recently. When the petrol pump guy was checking my tyre pressure, he said I had multiple punctures which I didnt feel when I came to the petrol pump. Felt something fishy, went to a tyre shop and had to change the tire eventually," wrote a third user. "Whoa! Thanks for the info. Seems my last journey to the puncture shop was just the same. Will be careful from now on. Sterling post! Thanks," said another.

Lucknow: Gang formed on Instagram behind ₹35 lakh burglaries, busted

In a case where crime met clicks, a gang of burglars that came together through an Instagram group to plan and carry out house thefts across Lucknow has been busted by the Ashiyana police. Four members have been arrested, and valuables worth around ₹35 lakh have been recovered, including jewellery and a motorcycle, police confirmed on Thursday. A burglar gang that came together through an Instagram group was busted by Ashiyana police on Thursday (Sourced) Police said the gang was led by 27-year-old Sudhir Kashyap of Lucknow, who created the Instagram group to recruit members and coordinate burglaries. Namit Mishra, also from Lucknow, would spot locked homes and alert others. Gaurav Singh, 21, and Md Zeshan, 25, both from Lakhimpur Kheri, would immediately travel to Lucknow in about three hours to join the thefts. The gang conducted recces during the day and carried out the burglaries at night. 'Sudhir could break into a house and finish the job within 30 minutes, including opening safes and cabinets,' DCP Central Ashish Srivastava said. Police apprehended the suspects near the BBAU University wall after they were found loitering on a motorcycle. Their inability to produce vehicle papers and inconsistent answers during questioning led to further probe and detention. The gang is suspected to be behind several burglaries reported at Ashiyana and PGI police stations. Recovered items include over 60 stolen items, gold and silver jewellery, silverware, and the motorcycle used in the crimes. Sudhir Kashyap is named in over 10 earlier cases registered in Lucknow and Lakhimpur Kheri, involving robbery and housebreaking. Investigations are on to ascertain the background of the other accused and their possible connection to more unsolved theft cases.
