A video showing two men on a bike spraying foam on the face of an elderly cyclist in Uttar Pradesh's Jhansi has gone viral on social media. The video, which shows the two men's "prank" on the innocent cyclist, has sparked widespread outrage as social media users called for their immediate arrest.
In the video, recorded by one of the riders and shared by several accounts on X, two men can be seen riding a motorcycle behind a cyclist on a busy road in Jhansi.
Laughed as they sprayed foam
The two are seen giggling as they get closer to the elderly cyclist. Suddenly, one of them holds out a spray can he had gripped in his hand and begins spraying the cyclist's face. The white foam catches the unsuspecting cyclist by surprise as he is unable to see.
With his face covered in the white foam, the man is disoriented but he keeps riding his cycle without being able to see anything.
The two men on the bike laugh and keep spraying the foam on his face.
Once they ride past him, they turn the camera around to show their victim, who slows down his cycle with his face still covered in foam. (Also Read: Hyderabad professor refuses to fall for students’ prank in hilarious video: ‘Hehe mujhe maalum hai’)
