People on social media were outraged by the video, and some asked if it was safe to move multiple kids on a two-wheeler in this way. “The vehicle is intended to carry only one driver and one pillion rider. This is not just shameful but also a clear violation of traffic and vehicle rules,” one user commented.

Someone else said that this kind of setup shouldn't be allowed because streets are already dangerous for kids and drivers don't follow the rules of the road. “It's so dangerous,” a user wrote, while another said, “He is playing with their lives.” The circumstances surrounding the ride and whether any action was taken by the authorities were not immediately clear.
