A youth put public safety at risk by performing an extremely dangerous stunt on Rajkot's busy Kesari Hind Bridge to gain popularity on social media. Using an emergency fire safety cylinder (fire extinguisher), the youth opened its valve and pulled the pin to make it fly in the air in a hazardous demonstration.
According to reports by Sandesh, this video has gone viral on social media platforms including Instagram. In the video, the youth is seen making reels in a cinematic style by dispersing chemical powder or gas into the air using the high-pressure cylinder. It is preliminarily indicated that the incident occurred on Kesari Hind Bridge during the night or early morning hours.
Had the cylinder slipped from his hand or exploded during this stunt, motorists or pedestrians passing on the bridge could have been seriously injured. Seeing life-saving equipment being turned into a spectacle in this manner, conscious citizens have demanded strict legal action against this anti-social element.
Following the emergence of the viral video, the traffic and local police are making preparations to identify the stuntman based on CCTV footage and social media accounts to register a case against him. Previously, Rajkot police have also taken strict action for bursting firecrackers or performing stunts on public roads.
