We have come across several videos on social media where people deliberately perform dangerous stunts just to grab the attention of viewers and gain popularity. People often use cars and bicycles for such stunts. In most cases, police officers take necessary action against such criminals. Here we have a video in which a person wrapped in plastic is hanging on the door of a moving Mahindra XUV500 on a public road.

The video was posted by Sumit Dubey on his Instagram page. In this video we see a black Mahindra XUV500 driving on a road. We see a person wrapped in plastic hanging in front of the SUV. The person is enjoying the ride and we can see their friends doing the same while sitting inside. The video was posted online with a caption that roughly translates to “Brother wanted to leave while he was sleeping.”
The B-pillar is wrapped in multiple plastic wraps and the person lying inside is completely covered, with only their hands and head outside the wrap. This is an extremely dangerous stunt, and you already know why. The video was posted earlier this month and the content creator disabled the comments section.
The video has received over 97 million views and 2.2 million likes online. From the video, it is clear that the social media influencer only pulled this stunt for the sake of publicity and social media reach. They also did this stunt on a public road, which again is a dangerous thing. The person risked not only his own life, but also the lives of other road users.
The chances of another vehicle getting too close to the XUV500 without noticing the person outside the car are quite high. In this case, the man lying in the plastic wrap cannot move away in time, which would only result in injury. We assume that the car was driven at low speed and this action was only taken to create viral content; However, this in no way eliminates the risk.
There is a high chance that the plastic will tear apart or expand due to the weight of the person lying on it. If that had happened, the social media influencer would have been hurt. The exact location where the video was recorded is unknown. The license plate of the SUV XUV500 cannot be seen in the video either.
The page where the video was posted lists the vlogger’s hometown as Uttar Pradesh. In the past, Uttar Pradesh police have been very strict against such stunts. They take the necessary measures, take the vehicle into custody and even impose heavy fines on the perpetrators.
We are sure that the police will soon determine the exact location in this case and take necessary action. The vlogger not only endangered his own life, but also the lives of other road users.
The Uttar Pradesh traffic police have in the past imposed fines on social media influencers who sat on the hood of a moving car and performed other stunts. In a recent case from Greater Noida, girls who were seen doing stunts on a moving scooter during the Holi festival were fined over Rs 80,000 for multiple offenses.
