NEW DELHI — Rajat Dalal, a prominent social media influencer, is under fire following a viral video that captures him driving recklessly at speeds exceeding 140 km/h on a busy road. The disturbing footage shows Dalal colliding with a motorcyclist and callously continuing without stopping. A woman in the passenger seat implores him to be cautious, but he dismisses her concerns, claiming such behaviour is routine for him.

 

The video, reportedly filmed by a passenger in the back seat, has ignited outrage across social media platforms. Calls for Dalal’s arrest have trended on X, with users tagging various police departments. However, despite the widespread attention, no official complaint has been filed, and the exact location of the incident remains undisclosed.

This recent controversy adds to Dalal’s troubled history. In June, he faced legal repercussions after allegedly assaulting an 18-year-old boy in Ahmedabad. The incident occurred when the boy posted a selfie at Dalal’s gym, accompanied by a caption implying that seeing Dalal’s face had ruined his day. Dalal stands accused of abducting the boy, subjecting him to humiliation on camera, and physically assaulting him. The video of this disturbing incident also circulated online, further tarnishing Dalal’s reputation.

 

As public anger intensifies, many are demanding accountability for Dalal’s actions. Authorities are closely monitoring the situation, and the influencer’s fate hangs in the balance.
