Haryana Teen Seen Sitting on Moving Car Roof in Viral Video, Claims Cop Father Will 'Protect Him
A viral video showing a teenager sitting on a moving car bonnet and claiming immunity due to his father’s position has ignited widespread criticism.
A video of Rakshit Beniwal, a teenager from Haryana, recklessly sitting on the roof of a moving Mahindra Thar has caused uproar online. The stunt gained notoriety not only for its dangerous nature but also for Rakshit’s brazen claim that his father, a police officer, would shield him from any legal consequences.
The Video That Sparked Debate
Rakshit, a budding vlogger with a substantial following of 41,000 Instagram followers and 70,000 YouTube subscribers, shared the controversial video on his Instagram account. The clip shows him perched on the car’s roof as it drives down a busy road. Inside the vehicle, his father, clad in a police uniform, is visible.
The caption accompanying the video, written in Hindi, roughly translates to: “If hit, I will handle it. I have a father who says this.” The post quickly went viral, garnering over four million views within a week.
Rakshit’s profile contains several similar stunt videos, with one pinned post amassing 30 million views in just a month. The video has also spread to other platforms like X (formerly Twitter), where users have expressed outrage at the teen’s behavior and his father’s apparent involvement.
Backlash and Calls for Accountability
Entrepreneur Chirag Barjatya reposted the video on X, sharply criticizing the teen’s recklessness and his father’s perceived complicity. He wrote, “What’s happening in Haryana? A kid is sitting on a Thar and saying his dad, a policeman, will save him? Save him from what? High time Mahindra should start seizing such people and cars.”
Social media users echoed Barjatya’s concerns, calling for strict action against both Rakshit and his father. Many pointed out the dangerous precedent such behavior sets and demanded accountability for the misuse of authority.
While the video has sparked heated discussions and widespread condemnation, no official response from the local police or Mahindra, the car manufacturer, has been reported so far. Social media continues to debate the incident, with calls for stricter regulations on such dangerous stunts gaining traction.
This controversy has highlighted the importance of enforcing traffic laws and addressing the misuse of privilege, particularly when public safety is at risk.
