Video: Men In Black SUVs Block Gurugram-Delhi Highway, Dance To Loud Music
A convoy of SUVs, including Mahindra Scorpio and Kia Seltos, created a nuisance on the Gurugram-Delhi expressway. Over a dozen black coloured cars, queued up, played loud songs and practised rash driving, breaking traffic rules. One of the passengers was also seen sitting on top of the car and doing stunts. A 19-second viral video starts with a man sitting on the car top, grooving to the background music while looking into the camera. A national flag is stuck to the car bonnet. Men in an adjacent car are seen filming the entire episode. The camera pans, and we get to see a series of cars, parked on the side of the road, with men standing out and recording the surrounding area. The video then cuts back to the first vehicle and shows the man, said to be a Haryanvi actor, posing, smiling, and dancing while standing on the seat, with the sunroof down. Several others were seen leaning out of sunroofs, throwing traffic rules out of the window and scaring fellow commuters. Based on the video evidence, cops are trying to identify the vehicles and the accused. A similar incident was reported earlier this month, when a convoy of nearly two dozen vehicles blocked a key intersection in Gurugram's Sector 108. The group brought traffic to a halt for several minutes, allegedly to shoot social media content. The incident took place near residential high-rises Shobha City and Experion Heartsong, on the stretch connecting Sector 108 to the Dwarka Expressway. The video showed two men standing on the seats of the Mercedes-Benz convertible with the roof down, while others filmed them from nearby vehicles. Residents alleged that the vehicles were fitted with illegal sirens, which were blared throughout the stunt. The noise and obstruction reportedly brought traffic to a standstill for over seven minutes, disrupting commuters and residents trying to pass through the area.

5-Star Hotel Guard Can't Believe As Guests Arrive In Auto Rickshaw: ‘Yeh Dekho Room Key'
After verifying the key, the security guard allowed the auto-rickshaw to enter the hotel. A video capturing a group of friends arriving at a 5-star luxury hotel in an auto-rickshaw is gaining widespread attention online. The unusual entry at JW Marriott Bengaluru Prestige Golfshire Resort & Spa caught viewers' eyes as many were curious to see whether a three-wheeler could actually make its way inside a five-star property. The clip has sparked both amusement and discussion online. The footage was shared on Instagram and was recorded by one of the friends sitting inside the auto. It starts with the vehicle reaching the main gate of the hotel, where barriers are initially lowered to block its entry. The Auto-Rickshaw Arrival As the auto stood at the hotel's main gate, a security guard came near it. One of the men said, 'Khol do bhaiya (Open it, brother)." The group seemed aware that the vehicle might not be allowed, and one of them assured the guard by showing the hotel room key, saying, 'Room hai andar (We have a room here)." After verifying the key, the guard stepped aside and allowed the auto to move forward. During the ride into the premises, the friends could be heard joking. At one point, one of them exclaimed, 'Audi Mercedes lagi hai." The clip was shared along with the caption that read: 'The most confident 5-star arrival ever." The video has now amassed more than three million views and triggered a range of reactions online. Many viewers found it amusing, while others commented on their behaviour. One user joked, 'All four-wheelers' legacy comes to an end when three-wheelers come to play." Another praised the creative approach by calling it a 'Premium entry", while a person wrote, 'When someone said do something unique." Another added humourously, 'It wasn't the auto, it was the dudes," highlighting that the personality of the guests mattered more than the vehicle itself. Others took a more practical view, with someone stating, 'It wasn't the auto, it was the dudes." 'I mean, look at them lol. If your behaviour is decent, they will let you in any vehicle. I have gone in autos, and nobody even stopped or stared at me. If you look uncivilised, then they might question even if you arrive in a Mercedes," a viewer wrote. An individual pointed out, 'I have no issue with an auto vehicle. But people can even ride an auto with class. But they didn't." 'Stop glorifying it. It's about manners and civic sense," read another comment. A Bigger Conversation On Social Class This viral video also highlights a bigger discussion about social class in India. Earlier this year, Dr A. Velumani, founder of Thyrocare, shared a story on X (formerly Twitter) about an auto-rickshaw driver whose son is studying at IIT Hyderabad. He said that while the moment was a celebration of hard work and determination, it also exposed a moment of class bias when a luxury hotel in Mumbai refused to allow the rickshaw inside its premises. view comments Location : Delhi, India, India First Published: August 18, 2025, 12:32 IST News viral 5-Star Hotel Guard Can't Believe As Guests Arrive In Auto Rickshaw: 'Yeh Dekho Room Key' Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.
