Content Creator's Fake TC Prank Exposes Ticketless Passengers; Video Goes Viral
Mumbai: A video has gone viral on Instagram posted by Aryan Kataria, an Instagram influencer. The video showcases that Aryan pretends to be a train ticket checker (TC) at a railway station in Mumbai. He approaches passengers and informs them that a ticket checker is nearby. This causes various reactions. Some of the passengers ignore the warning, while others believe him and change their routes to avoid being caught without a ticket.
Here’s The Video Posted On Instagram
The video captures these reactions and reveals that some passengers are attempting to travel without a valid ticket. At the end of the video, it is shown that Aryan concludes with a message about the importance of always purchasing tickets to avoid such situations. The video posted has reached more than 6 million viewers on Instagram.
It is crucial to understand that the video was created for entertainment purposes. However, it remains unclear if the responses or reactions of the passengers were genuine or scripted with participants who knew about the prank. Moreover, there is no information on whether Aryan obtained permission from railway authorities or officials to film at the station. Regardless, travelling without a ticket is illegal and punishable by law.
The video went viral due to several reasons because many people can relate to the anxiety of encountering a ticket checker, and the humorous approach of the prank. There is a social commentary sparking discussions and debates about public transport ethics. Aryan Kataria’s existing follower base helped amplify the video’s reach quickly.
In summary, the impact of this video can imply social awareness, reminding viewers of the importance of following rules. Some viewers may be deterred from ticketless travel, understanding that it’s illegal but can also lead to public embarrassment if caught.
Some may criticise the video for potentially misleading people or for ethical concerns about staging pranks in public without clear consent.
However, it may affect how people view ticket checkers and the enforcement of transport regulations, possibly creating a more strict or cautious approach among commuters.
