Two masked men, on a bike, approach a man standing near a roadside food stall in Uttar Pradesh's Muzaffarnagar, and try to 'kidnap' him in broad daylight. Their dramatic, movie-like act caused confusion among locals, who believed the kidnapping was real. And thus, the crowd on the streets, in panic, intervenes to stop the bikers just when they point towards a camera, telling them it was merely a 'kidnapping' act being shot for Instagram reels.
The reel was being shot in the Khatauli area, where the youths were trying to shoot a mock kidnapping at a public place.
