Viral: Man Confronts Group Over Bursting Crackers on Road in Mumbai, Receives Obscene Gestures

A video has gone viral on social media, which has sparked outrage. A man was simply asking a group of people who were bursting firecrackers on a road in Borivali, Mumbai. He asked them to stop as it could be dangerous for the commuters, but those people had done something unpleasant. Many are saying this was an act of lack of civic sense.

The video has started debate on road safety. Hardik Dedhia has shared the video on X tagging Mumbai Police and Borivali Police Station. Mumbai Police have responded to the video. “We have informed @Borivali_PS Police Station,” Mumbai Police wrote in a reply. “Travelling post 10 pm on SV Road, Borivali East, I saw two-three bikers and auto-rickshaws losing control, and some even got injured. I requested them not to do it,” he said in his post.

Hardik tried to request them to stop bursting the crackers but they reportedly kept doing so. According to him, he urged them to stop since the activity posed a risk to the commuters. One person reportedly made obscene gestures toward him despite his alleged disregard for his demand, according to media reports.

Many are commenting on his video and saying that road safety should be addressed as a priority. Hardik himself questioned how people can allow bursting firecrackers on busy roads as it can be risky for many commuters.
