Three men in Noida were fined Rs 33,000 for being 'inspired' by Squid Game Season 2 to attempt a risky stunt that they also filmed. A viral video of their risky act, performed late at night around a roundabout, features a Delhi-registered Toyota Fortuner SUV with a BJP flag displayed on its bonnet.
The footage shows one man perched on the SUV's windshield while two others hold onto the doors as the iconic Squid Game's 'Round and Round' song plays in the background.
The trio of amateur stuntmen seem to be in high spirits as they break traffic laws. But once the video was shared online, it drew harsh rebukes from netizens incensed at how the miscreants had had violated traffic and safety regulations.
As per a Business Today report, Noida police, thanks to the video, were able to identify the vehicle used in the stunt and also its owner.
The vehicle owner was then fined Rs 33,000 for a variety of offenses — from reckless driving, disregarding traffic laws, driving without valid insurance, using tinted windows, and failing to wear seat belts.
There is no reports yet confirming whether or not the three men have any affiliation with the BJP as suggested by the party's flag on the SUV's bonnet.
