Watch video: Firecrackers go off from boot of moving car in Gurgaon; 3 arrested for stunt

There is no dearth of people who would go to any extent for their ten-second share of fame. And the Internet may make you famous for both good and bad reasons. Unfortunately, the Gurugram men's luck ran out as a video showing them setting off fireworks in the trunk of a moving car went viral on social media and also attracted the attention of police. In the viral video, a box of firecrackers went off on the trunk of a car as it sped through Gurugram's streets.

Even when other cars were passing by, the driver moved through the streets and the fireworks kept going off. The bizarre stunt happened on Diwali evening (October 24).




Since the video came out, it has gained millions of views, and some viewers have urged the Gurugram Police to intervene. Finally, the video was reported to the police, who opened an investigation at the DLF Phase-III police station. Preetpal Singh, ACP, Gurgaon police, stated that following the release of the video, all three parties engaged in the incident were taken into custody.

It goes without saying that the video became popular for obvious reasons. Internet users condemned the individuals for their unethical behaviour and hailed Gurugram Police for their prompt action.
