A quiet and deserted road in Bengaluru turned into the backdrop of a shocking stunt late at night, resembling a scene from a film. However, this was no movie shoot. ‘Bigg Boss’ fame Rajat has landed in legal trouble after allegedly carrying out a dangerous act on Vaderahalli Road, reportedly in a bid to gain attention on social media.
Petrol Bomb Explosion Filmed for Social Media
According to reports, on the night of April 24 between 10 pm and 11 pm, Rajat allegedly filled plastic bags with petrol and set them off on a public road to create an explosion-like effect. The act was reportedly carried out to film a viral reel showcasing what he described as ‘heroism’, but it instead sparked widespread concern.
Viral Video Shows Reckless Behaviour
The video that has since gone viral shows Rajat riding a bike without a helmet while igniting fire on the road, creating a blast-like effect. As the clip began circulating online and drawing strong criticism, the Kaggalipura police took swift action to investigate the matter.
