The increase in the number of social media users has given birth to a whole new problem. This problem is people wanting to get instant clout online. In order to become an overnight success, influencers and YouTubers are now performing reckless stunts on public roads and in public places. Sometimes these stunts become so extravagant that they cause havoc. Recently, a video of an influencer throwing money on roads while standing on his Royal Enfield Continental GT has been shared online.
Influencer Throws Cash on Road
This video of a social media influencer causing havoc on public roads by throwing money has been shared on X. It comes courtesy of Sudhakar Udumula. In the first video, the influencer is seen standing on a Royal Enfield Continental GT motorcycle. It was being ridden through a heavily traffic-filled market area.
What happens next is that as the influencer sees a group of people approaching and his cameraman getting away to create sufficient distance, he throws a bundle of cash into the air, which then gets dispersed on the road like rain. Following this, the video shows that a state of frenzy is created as all the people on the road rush to collect the cash.
Not the Only Video
As stupid as this stunt was, this is not the only video that has been shared by this influencer. He has shared a few more such videos where he goes to very crowded places and throws cash on the road. In the second video, he is again seen throwing a lot of money into the air while standing in the middle of a busy road.
Due to this money being thrown, people stop their vehicles as a number of others gather to collect the cash from the road. We can even see people pushing each other in their attempts to get a hold of the cash. Lastly, he has also shared another video in which he does the same stunt on a main road.
In this clip, he is seen throwing cash twice on a very busy road with cars, auto rickshaws, and bikes. Once again, due to this much cash, people come onto the road, causing a huge traffic jam while risking their lives as well.
Who Is This Person?
As per reports, this influencer uses the name Power Harsha, and his real name is Mahadev. His social media handles carry the name “its_me_power.” He is a YouTuber/Instagram influencer from Hyderabad.
Has He Been Arrested?
So far, no reports of this chaos-causing influencer being arrested have been shared online. What’s even more shocking is that despite noting that his actions cause a huge safety risk for people on the road, the influencer has stated that he will continue to perform such videos.
He has even encouraged his viewers to join his Telegram channel, where he has announced that he will be offering huge gifts and giveaways to those who guess the exact amount of money thrown in his upcoming videos.
Netizens’ Reactions
Many netizens have also tagged Hyderabad police on the same post so that this reckless influencer can be stopped. Many have stated that this is extremely dangerous, as people, when trying to catch the cash, do not look at the incoming traffic, which could someday cause a huge accident or even be fatal.
One of the users of the platform stated, “Definitely we can now see a huge hike in their followers. People always look for an easy way to earn money. People who are not well-educated will now subscribe to their YouTube and Telegram channels, which will encourage these ‘chapris’ to repeat.”
