The clip, shared on X (formerly Twitter), shows a group of men dancing at a wedding procession, followed by one of them lifting a box of firecrackers and placing it over his head. The purportedly drunk man dances with the box for a few seconds while sparks gush from the container.

Meanwhile, a similar incident took place last year in Tamil Nadu where a dangerous stunt involving firecrackers, performed by a motorcyclist in Trichy, prompted a police search for the individual. The incident captured on video showed the biker performing a wheelie - a manoeuvre where the front wheels of the motorcycle are raised in the air. Notably, firecrackers were attached to the bike's headlight and front number plate, detonating as the rider sped away with the front wheels raised. A case was registered for negligent riding and endangering the personal safety of others.
Another incident was reported last year in Gurugram in which three people were arrested after a viral video showed them bursting firecrackers on top of a moving car's boot space. The incident happened on the night of Diwali.
