Another viral stunt gone wrong
This incident comes shortly after another viral stunt in Haryana that also caused public outrage. In this case, a social media influencer filmed a reel in a bra and pants in the crowded Insar market in Panipat. When locals approached him, asking him to stop, the situation quickly escalated into a confrontation. An angry bystander slapped the influencer, who then begged for mercy, saying, "I'll leave right now!"

Although there are no reports of an official police complaint in this case, it has raised concerns about the limits of social media stunts in public spaces. Reports suggest that the influencer apologised to the locals after the incident, and was warned not to repeat such actions in the future.
