A man from Noida, Uttar Pradesh, was arrested by the police for performing dangerous stunts for the sake of his social media followers. The man was seen performing dangerous stunts on the roads using cars.

In a video shared by the Police Commissionerate Gautam Buddh Nagar, one can see a young man standing on two white SUVs, flexing his muscles, while he was trying to recreate the entry of Ajay Devgn in 'Golmaal Again' title track.

As the video progressed, it also showed that the same man was riding a motorcycle on just one wheel, avoiding the helmet on a busy road in Noida.

"The youth, who performed dangerous stunts on vehicles and bikes, was arrested by the police station Sector-113 Noida and the vehicles used in the stunt were seized", the Gautam Buddh Nagar police wrote.

Kant explained, “One of the Toyota Fortuners and the motorcycle belong to Rajiv’s family. He had taken the other Fortuner from a relative for the video. He is not employed but belongs to a well-to-do family. He was making the video for social media only". 

Law enforcement agencies around the country have been pleading with people not to try such daredevil acts and put their lives in danger.
