Noida witnessed a dangerous reenactment of the "round and round" song from Squid Games Season 2, as three men turned a busy roundabout into their personal stage for a risky stunt. Their antics, performed late at night using a Delhi-registered Toyota Fortuner SUV bearing a BJP flag on its bonnet, have sparked outrage and led to swift police action.

Dangerous stunt caught on camera
In a viral video, one man can be seen perched on the SUV’s windshield while two others clung to the doors. The Squid Games track played in the background as the vehicle performed loops around the roundabout. The men appeared to enjoy their ride, seemingly oblivious to the danger they posed to themselves and others.
Social media was quick to criticise the stunt, with many pointing out the blatant disregard for traffic and safety regulations. The video’s popularity also drew the attention of the Noida Police, who issued a challan of ₹33,000 to the vehicle owner. Violations included dangerous driving, lack of valid insurance, using tinted glass, failing to wear seat belts, and disobedience of the law.
