Instagram influencer and YouTuber Adarsh Shukla was arrested by the Railway Protection Force (RPF), IT cell, on Friday over his “objectionable” Instagram videos. Central Railway released a video on YouTube where Mr Shukla, with folded hands, appeals to the general public to not create such videos.
In the video, we see the “stunts” he’s talking about. In one in every of those, he stands at the sting of a railway platform and lights a cigarette as a train crosses behind him. He moves faraway from the sting only at the last moment. within the second video, he squats down on railway tracks and begins to smoke.
Central Railway’s RPF IT cell received a complaint on Twitter and tracked his videos. Immediately, after receiving the complaint, RPF IT cell — IPF Badlapur and IPF Kalyan — swung into action. The team tracked his BMW car number and caught him. Thereafter, Mr Shukla deleted the videos and apologised to his 6.3 lakh Instagram followers.
Central Railway uploaded the YouTube video with a caption that praised RPF for its immediate action. It also called Mr Shukla a “habitual objectionable Instagram video creator”, adding that he has appealed to the “general public to not create such offendable videos”.
In the video, Mr Shukla mentions the 2 videos and begs pardon for his actions. He said, “Train se mazak masti wali video na banaye (Do not make videos that depict kidding trains or railways).” He repeated several times that such action may lead to proceeding from the RPF cell.
