Reacting to the reports of the arrest of the content creator, some social media users demanded that he should be heavily fined.
A user wrote, "I don't know under what sections, he should pay in lakhs as a fine and the community service."
"These are all woke. @DelhiPolice did the right thing by arresting him," another user commented.
"Thank you for the enforcement of the law. Just to make reels, people inconvenience others and take huge risks," the third user wrote.
"Removing the social media account should be the standard practice for all such people, because a mere challan may not hurt them as much as the loss of that social media acct will, but it should be done with each defaulter without exception," the fourth user commented.
"Good job and quick action," the fifth user wrote.
The stringent police response follows a recent incident where two individuals, including a woman, were arrested and fined for filming reels on the road while dressed in superhero costumes.
