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.
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.
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.
Authorities have registered an FIR against Rajat for multiple offences related to public safety violations and damage to property. The act reportedly caused panic among locals and left sections of the road blackened due to the explosion-like fire.
Police sources also noted that this is not the first time Rajat has faced legal trouble, as he was previously jailed for allegedly brandishing a machete. Officials stated that he appears not to have learnt from past incidents, given his continued involvement in risky behaviour.
The Kaggalipura police have booked Rajat under several legal provisions, including:
Police have inspected the location and are preparing to issue a notice to question him further. The incident serves as a strong warning against performing dangerous acts for social media attention, especially those that compromise public safety.
