The allure of social media fame has led many influencers and content creators to engage in reckless and dangerous stunts, prioritising likes and followers over personal safety and well-being. This disturbing trend has resulted in numerous injuries, deaths, and legal consequences. A shocking video from Bihar's Samastipur area has surfaced on social media, showing a man performing a reckless stunt on a moving motorcycle. In the video titled "Namaste India", the man is seen standing on top of the moving bike, navigating through the streets of a village. While some onlookers appear shocked and alarmed by the reckless display, others seem amused, smiling and waving at the performer.
''This man has become a threat to people's lives, Samastipur police is trying to save him. He does such stunts on the road every day and uploads videos," the caption of the post shared by @ChapraZila read. The bike's number is also shared to facilitate identification and potential intervention.
