Bengaluru auto driver celebrates birthday with machete-cut cartridge cake, lands in soup: Report
An autorickshaw driver's dramatic birthday celebration in Bengaluru landed him in trouble with the law after a video of him cutting a cartridge-shaped cake with a machete went viral. The incident took place on the night of May 31 in Gudibande of Chikkaballapur in the outskirts of the city, when Anil Kumar, a resident of Vychukurahalli, was celebrating with friends, family, and colleagues, reported The Times of India.

Instead of a standard cake and knife, Kumar pulled out a machete and sliced into a cake designed to resemble a bullet cartridge, drawing cheers and applause from the guests. The celebration continued with a cocktail party, and Kumar later took the machete home. However, the viral video caught the attention of the Gudibande police, who acted swiftly after someone forwarded them the clip. 'Upon receiving the footage, we booked Anil Kumar under Section 126 of the Bharatiya Nyaya Suraksha Sanhita (BNSS),' said Chikkaballapur Superintendent of Police Kushal Choukesy to TOI. Kumar, who reportedly has no prior criminal record, was arrested on Monday and produced before a court, where he was fined ₹1,000.

Kumar is expected to appear before the tahsildar on Tuesday, where he will be required to sign a security bond ensuring he will not repeat such behavior or engage in any activity considered antisocial. 'When an executive magistrate has reason to believe that an individual may disturb public peace, a show-cause notice can be issued, asking why they should not be bound to maintain peace for up to one year,' Choukesy told the publication. This isn't the first time Karnataka police have cracked down on over-the-top birthday celebrations involving weapons. A few years ago, Bengaluru's Girinagar police issued a similar notice to Kannada actor 'Duniya' Vijay after he was seen in a viral video cutting a cake with a sword during his birthday celebrations, which also led to a case for obstructing traffic.

Cutting birthday cake with machete lands man in hot water in Bengaluru
1 2 Bengaluru: When 'josh' (fervour) got the better of 'hosh' (common sense), or so one thought. It was a birthday celebration like any other — complete with cake-cutting. Except that the cake wasn't like any other. It was shaped like a cartridge and what was used to cut it wasn't the average knife, but a machete. Result: The 'birthday boy' — in this case an autorickshaw driver named Anil Kumar — was arrested and produced in court. Police said he admitted having "acted in josh". As video clips of the cake-cutting were passed around, someone forwarded those to the jurisdictional cops at Gudibande police station in Chikkaballapur, prompting the law-keepers to sit up, take note and crack down on Kumar, a resident of Vychukurahalli. The birthday party was held on the night of May 31 at Gudibande, and Kumar was arrested Monday. Surrounded by friends, colleagues and relatives, Kumar, who had no criminal record, pulled out the machete and cut the cake, even as the guests clapped. This was followed by a cocktail party.
