Just when you think you have seen everything, social media pops up a video that makes you go – What? In this instance, it’s a clip of a man and his female friend riding a scooter. While there’s nothing bizarre in riding a scooter, the two were actually having a bath on the two-wheeler. The duo was seen having a bath on the vehicle in motion while also flouting other traffic norms. The eyebrow-raising footage, filmed in Maharashtra’s Ulhasnagar quickly gained traction on Twitter, prompting the local police to take action in the case.
The video was shared on Twitter with a post that detailed the location of the incident. “Is such nonsense allowed in the name of entertainment? This happened on busy Ulhasnagar Sec-17 main signal. Request to take strict action including deletion of social media contents to avoid others doing more nonsense in public,” the tweet read.

A third person expressed their concern, stating, “Without helmets doing bathing activity though it looks funny, but if people start doing weird activities on serious roads of Mumbai, the day is not far away when Mumbai roads will tune into a big Circus. Mumbai Police no harsh punishment but tough lesson for defaulters.”

In response to the controversy surrounding the viral clip, one user questioned, “What’s wrong here? Little fun is ok! Why is the crime other than not wearing a helmet?”
