Recently, there has been a sharp rise in the trend among Instagram influencers obsessed with taking reels of dangerous car stunts. Despite repeated reminders from authorities, content creators don’t seem to be stopping anytime soon. Now, a video shows two Instagram influencers disrupting traffic by parking their vehicle in the middle of the road. According to reports, the video was shot on a flyover near Paschim Vihar in North Delhi during rush hour.
A video posted by Pradeep Dhaka shows a pickup truck suddenly stopping in the middle of the road, forcing the vehicle behind it to make an emergency stop. Two men are then seen stepping out of the car and striking a stylish pose.
The Delhi-based influencer cheekily captioned it “Roadblock”.

The video outraged internet users, with many calling for a crackdown on the influencers for disrupting traffic and causing problems for the public. Some users shared the video on X and tagged the Delhi Police, demanding urgent action against the men.
“Right now, influencers are violating social norms, which often creates chaos and makes people uncomfortable,” one user wrote.
Another commented: “This is also a case of dangerous driving, endangering the lives of other people on the road.”
A third said, “These things happen every day and they get fined too, the problem is they make a lot more money in followers, money, fame, etc. than they get fined for.” The only sensible thing to do. It’s jail time, hefty fines and impoundment of vehicles. Hopefully this will put a stop to this nonsense. “
A fourth added, “Our society is going into a downturn because of these reel makers and influencers.” If you want to live in a good environment, all sane people are sincerely urged to block and stay away from these Chapris. “
