Influencer creates nuisance in Hyderabad

Hyderabad: In a bid for online fame, an influencer has sparked public concern and police attention with a dangerous stunt. The influencer, identified on Instagram as @its_me_power_, has been filmed throwing money onto busy roads in Hyderabad, attracting crowds, and performing stunts on a two-wheeler without a helmet.

Sheshasai, a resident of Hyderabad, brought the incident to light on the social media platform ‘X,’ previously known as Twitter. Sheshasai expressed frustration at the influencer’s actions, tagging the Hyderabad City Police, Telangana DGP, Rachakonda Commissionerate, Cyberabad Police, and Hyderabad Traffic Police in a post that read: “While you remain silent all the time, influencers like this are creating a nuisance by throwing money/notes on public roads. Why don’t you act on these people? Your silence is encouraging them more.”

Sheshasai further urged the traffic authorities of Hyderabad and Cyberabad Traffic Police to intervene, requesting action against the influencer for performing stunts without a helmet on public roads.

In an earlier post on June 27, Sheshasai said, “While police in the North arrest influencers who promote betting apps, police in Telangana don’t take any action even after sending them videos of influencers throwing currency notes in public on main roads, too. I reached out to multiple police stations, but no Station House Officer (SHO) is worried.”

The influencer has 3,26,000 Instagram followers and is known for creating bizarre content to gain fame. Throwing money onto roads appears to be a recurring theme in his videos, potentially causing traffic disruptions and safety hazards.

In a video, the influencer arrogantly said, “I will throw and I will continue to throw the money in coming days also. What will you do?”

The incident has sparked debate about influencer culture and the lengths some individuals go for online attention. Authorities have yet to comment on the situation, but it remains to be seen if any action will be taken against the influencer.
