Noida Man Viral Video: People online were left shocked and worried after a video from Greater Noida, Uttar Pradesh, started making rounds on social media. The clip shows a child lying on the roof of a high-end DC Avanti sports car while it drives down the road, entering a gated housing society. Another man runs behind the moving car as the child stretches out on top, cheering and enjoying the ride, oblivious to the obvious danger.

Once the video went viral, police acted swiftly and reportedly arrested the driver, identified as Ankit Pal from Gaur City 2, and seized the car involved in the stunt. After the investigation, the official revealed that the man and the child are both social media influencers and the stunt was allegedly performed to gain views and likes. “The accused performed this dangerous stunt to gain popularity on social media,” Station House Officer Krishna Gopal Sharma said.

Bisrakh police Station House Officer Krishna Gopal Sharma said a case was registered under Section 117 (voluntarily causing grievous hurt) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS). However, The Times of India reported that authorities believe the video might be almost a year old and was recently shared again online.
