As we can see in the video, the masked man, dressed as the ‘Money Heist’ character of the popular web series, went on showering currency notes at a public place while he is seen standing on the roof of a red car. Also, it was seen that the incident led to mild traffic congestion as people flocked to the spot to grab the currency notes from the road competing among each other.
However, reportedly after the video went viral, Police swung into action and arrested the man. He was booked under section 151 of the Criminal Procedure Code while the vehicle involved was seized under MV Act.
