IIT Bombay's Prank On April Fool's Day Goes Viral. It's A Good One.

Screengrab from YouTube video uploaded by IIT Bombay

On April Fool's Day, Google pranked users with its Pacman doodle, Uber said it has launched supercars and Ola launched a fictional helicopter ride service for Rs 499/hour.

But, guess whose prank is still getting major online props, even two days later?

It's the one by IIT Bombay, whose video has been viewed over 3 lakh times on YouTube.

Students used hidden cameras to film others on campus picking up 100-rupee notes lying on the ground. When they unfold them, there's a bit of a twist.

The currency notes have a message on them-"It takes equal effort to pick up a piece of garbage. #PickItUp."

Well played, IIT Mumbai, well played.
