Viral Video: Man Bursts Firecrackers From Moving Car in Hyderabad

New Delhi, December 26, 2025: In a shocking display of public endangerment, a video has gone viral on social media platforms showing a man recklessly bursting firecrackers from a moving vehicle on one of Hyderabad’s busiest arterial roads, the PV Narasimha Rao (PVNR) Expressway.

The footage, which has sparked widespread outrage among netizens and local residents, highlights a growing and dangerous trend of “stunt-based” content creation that compromises road safety for social media engagement.

The Incident: Fireworks on the Fast Lane

The viral clip captures a red hatchback speeding along the elevated expressway. An unidentified individual can be seen leaning slightly or holding a continuous multi-shot firecracker launcher (commonly known as “sky shots”) out of the window. As the car maneuvers through traffic, vibrant sparks and loud explosions erupt from the vehicle, lighting up the night sky and leaving a trail of smoke and debris on the high-speed corridor.

The PVNR Expressway is a 11.6 km long elevated road that connects the city center to the Rajiv Gandhi International Airport (RGIA). Known for its strict speed limits and heavy surveillance, the expressway is a high-speed zone where even a minor distraction can lead to catastrophic accidents.

Safety Concerns and Public Reaction

The video has drawn sharp criticism from the public, with many calling for immediate and stringent action against the perpetrators. Netizens pointed out that such antics not only risk the lives of those inside the vehicle but also pose a severe threat to other commuters.

“This is peak lawlessness. A stray spark could hit a trailing motorcyclist or cause a driver to swerve in panic. The authorities must make an example out of this,” wrote one user on X (formerly Twitter). Others tagged the Hyderabad City Police and the Cyberabad Traffic Police, urging them to use the extensive CCTV network on the expressway to track the vehicle’s registration number.

Police Response and Legal Implications

While the Hyderabad traffic authorities are yet to officially identify the culprits, they have previously warned that such acts fall under several sections of the Indian Penal Code (IPC) and the Motor Vehicles Act. Possible charges include:

  • Section 279 (IPC): Rash driving or riding on a public way.
  • Section 336 (IPC): Act endangering life or personal safety of others.
  • Public Nuisance: Creating a disturbance that affects the general public.

In similar past incidents, the Hyderabad police have been proactive in seizing vehicles and cancelling the driving licenses of those involved in dangerous road stunts.

A Pattern of Recklessness

This incident is not an isolated one. In a separate recent event mentioned in news reports, a builder in Surat was arrested for stopping traffic to burst crackers in the middle of a road to celebrate his son’s birthday. The “viral video culture” has increasingly pushed individuals to perform illegal acts on camera, often disregarding the rule of law.

Conclusion

The Hyderabad Expressway incident serves as a grim reminder of the challenges traffic enforcement face in the age of social media. As the video continues to circulate, the pressure is mounting on the Hyderabad police to track down the red car and ensure that the “sky shots” on the expressway lead to a “court shot” for the offenders.

Authorities continue to advise citizens to report such incidents immediately and refrain from engaging in activities that jeopardize the safety of the city’s infrastructure and its people.

Real-Life ‘Bunty Aur Babli’: Teen Duo Arrested for ₹16 Lakh Jewellery Heist in Indore

Real-Life ‘Bunty Aur Babli’: Teen Duo Arrested for ₹16 Lakh Jewellery Heist in Indore

New Delhi, December 26, 2025: In a case that mirrors a Bollywood script, Indore police have arrested two 18-year-olds for a daring jewellery heist worth ₹16.17 lakh. The duo, inspired by the 2005 con-artist film Bunty Aur Babli, was apprehended following a high-stakes investigation that spanned multiple cities.

The incident, which took place on the night of December 22, 2025, at Shri Jewellers in the Silicon City area, gained viral attention after CCTV footage surfaced showing the cinematic nature of the crime.

The Heist and the “AI Connection”

The investigation revealed a modern twist to a classic crime story. One of the accused, identified as Priyanshu, worked as a part-time graphic designer. During interrogation, he claimed that his life took a downward spiral after he lost his job to Artificial Intelligence (AI) tools adopted by his IT firm.

Struggling to make ends meet and coming from an economically weak background, Priyanshu teamed up with his childhood friend, Arya, a medical aspirant currently preparing for the NEET exam. Together, they watched the film Bunty Aur Babli and decided to replicate its “easy money” allure to solve their financial woes.

How the Crime Unfolded

  • The Entry: CCTV footage showed Priyanshu entering the jewellery shop through the roof in the dead of night.
  • The Loot: The duo made off with a significant collection of gold, silver, and diamond ornaments.
  • The Escape: Immediately after the theft, the pair fled Indore and went into hiding in Bhopal.

Why the Plan Failed

Despite their careful planning, the young “cons” hit a roadblock when trying to sell the stolen goods. According to Deputy Commissioner of Police (DCP) Shrikrishna Lalchandani, potential buyers became suspicious because of the duo’s young age.

Recovery and Arrest

Indore police used a combination of technical surveillance and ground-level intelligence to track the duo to Bhopal. In a successful raid, the police recovered the entire stolen booty worth over ₹16 lakh and brought the teens back to Indore to face charges.

The police are currently investigating if the duo was involved in any other criminal activities. This case has sparked a wider conversation on social media regarding the impact of job displacement due to automation and the influence of cinema on impressionable minds.

New Delhi, December 26, 2025 :Bollywood’s favorite power couple, Sidharth Malhotra and Kiara Advani, have ushered in the 2025 holiday season with a heartwarming milestone: the very first Christmas of their daughter, Saraayah Malhotra.

Since welcoming their baby girl in July, the couple has been selectively sharing glimpses of their journey into parenthood. This Christmas, they gave fans a tender look into their festive celebrations, proving that the “superstar” of the Malhotra household is officially in charge.

A “Little Miss Claus” Steals the Show

Kiara Advani took to Instagram to share an adorable close-up of baby Saraayah, who was dressed for the occasion in a festive red velvet outfit. The dress featured the words “My First Christmas” delicately embroidered in gold.

While the couple continues to protect their daughter’s privacy by not revealing her face, the photo captured Saraayah’s tiny hands and chin—enough to send fans into a frenzy of “aww” moments. Kiara affectionately captioned the post:

“Merry Merry Christmas from my little Miss Claus.”

Personalized Decorations and Family Traditions

The festivities weren’t just about the outfits. Sidharth and Kiara showcased their beautifully decorated home, featuring a towering Christmas tree glowing with warm lights. A standout detail was the set of personalized red baubles hanging from the branches, bearing the names “Sid,” “Kiara,” and “Saraayah.“

For the couple, this year marks a significant shift from their high-profile lives as actors to their new roles as doting parents. Sidharth recently shared in an interview how much his life has changed since becoming a “girl dad,” jokingly noting that he has “never lost so many arguments to someone who can’t speak.”

The Meaning Behind the Name: Saraayah

The couple officially revealed their daughter’s name on November 28, 2025, through a joint post featuring her tiny feet.

  • Origin: The name Saraayah is of Hebrew origin.
  • Meaning: It translates to “God’s Princess” or “noble shelter.”
  • Fun Fact: Many fans have pointed out that “Saraayah” feels like a poetic blend of Sidharth and Kiara’s names, adding an extra layer of sentiment to the choice.

A Balanced Year for the Stars

Despite the joys of parenthood, both actors have stayed active in their professional lives. Kiara recently made headlines for her first look in the upcoming film Toxic: A Fairytale for Grown-Ups and her role in War 2. Meanwhile, Sidharth is gearing up for his folk thriller Vvan: Force of the Forest.

Micro-Robots: Tiny Tech, Big Future

Micro-Robots: Tiny Tech, Big Future

New Delhi, December 26, 2025: In a feat of engineering that feels like science fiction, researchers from the University of Pennsylvania and the University of Michigan have unveiled the world’s first fully autonomous, programmable micro-robots.

Measuring just 200 by 300 micrometers—smaller than a single grain of salt and roughly twice the width of a human hair—these tiny machines represent a breakthrough that has eluded scientists for nearly 40 years.

A “Brain” the Size of a Dust Speck

The primary challenge in creating such small robots has always been the electronics. While our phones have become incredibly small, building a robot that can “think” independently at a sub-millimeter scale was considered impossible.

To solve this, the Michigan team developed a microscopic computer that runs on just 75 nanowatts of power—roughly 100,000 times less than a typical smartwatch. This tiny “brain” includes a processor, memory, and sensors, all integrated into a chip that fits on the ridge of a human fingerprint.

How They Move: The “Ion Nudge”

At this microscopic scale, water feels as thick as honey or tar. Traditional legs or propellers would be too fragile or inefficient. Instead, these robots use a genius method of propulsion:

  • No Moving Parts: The robots use electrodes to create a localized electrical field.
  • Moving the Water: This field nudges ions in the surrounding fluid, which then push the water molecules around the robot.
  • Speed: By “riding” these self-created currents, the robots can swim at speeds of one body length per second.

Applications: Medicine and Manufacturing

Because they are extremely durable and cost only about one penny each to manufacture, these robots are designed to be deployed in massive swarms.

FeatureDetail
Power SourceTiny onboard solar panels fueled by LED light
SensingDetects temperature changes within $0.3°C$
CommunicationPerforms a “waggle dance” (like honeybees) to report data
DurabilityCan operate continuously for months

In the future, these “salt-grain” robots could be injected into the human body to monitor the health of individual cells, deliver drugs to precise locations, or even repair damaged tissues. In industry, they could be used to assemble complex micro-electronics that are too small for human hands or traditional factory arms.

Looking Ahead

While currently tested in lab solutions, the next step for researchers is making these bots biocompatible for use in human blood and more complex environments. As lead researcher Marc Miskin puts it, “This is really just the first chapter.” We have finally found a way to put a brain, a sensor, and a motor into something almost too small to see.

“Janwargiri Mat Kariye”: Kailash Kher Abruptly Halts Gwalior Concert Amid Chaos

“Janwargiri Mat Kariye”: Kailash Kher Abruptly Halts Gwalior Concert Amid Chaos

December 26, 2025 — Celebrated Sufi singer Kailash Kher was forced to stop his performance and walk off stage during a high-profile concert in Gwalior on Thursday night. What was meant to be a soulful evening turned into a scene of utter disorder as a section of the crowd breached security barricades, prompting a visibly frustrated Kher to label their behavior as “Janwargiri” (animal-like behavior).

A Night of Celebration Turns Sour

The event, held at Gwalior’s Mela Maidan, was organized to commemorate the birth anniversary of the late Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee. Thousands of fans had gathered for the “Bollywood Night,” which also coincided with the city’s Gwalior Gaurav Diwas celebrations.

The atmosphere was initially electric as Kher performed hits like “Teri Deewani” and “Saiyyan.” However, as the performance reached its peak, the excitement of the audience spiraled out of control. Fans began jumping over the safety barricades and surging toward the stage, with some even attempting to climb onto the platform to get closer to the singer and his equipment.

“Stop Behaving Like Animals”

As the security situation deteriorated, Kher paused the music to address the unruly crowd. In a video that has since gone viral on social media, he is seen sternly warning the audience:

“Humne aapki prashansa ki aur aap itna janwargiri kar rahe hain. Janwargiri mat kariye please. (We praised you so much, but you are behaving like animals. Please, don’t act like animals.)”

He further cautioned that if anyone touched the musical instruments or came any closer to the stage, he would terminate the show immediately. Despite his direct appeals and requests for senior police officials to intervene, the crowd remained uncontrollable, and the security presence was reportedly inadequate for the massive turnout.

Security Lapse Under the Scanner

The incident has raised serious questions regarding the event’s security protocols. Interestingly, Union Home Minister Amit Shah had addressed a gathering at the same venue earlier that day with stringent security measures in place. However, during the evening cultural program, the management appeared to crumble under the pressure of the large crowd.

Finding the environment unsafe for himself and his team, Kher ultimately chose to leave the venue midway, leaving thousands of fans disappointed.

Recurring Issues for the Artist

This is not the first time Kailash Kher has faced safety concerns during a live performance. In 2023, a similar incident occurred in Karnataka where a fan threw a water bottle at him, demanding he sing in the local language. These recurring incidents have sparked a broader conversation in the entertainment industry regarding the safety of artists during large public gatherings and the need for better crowd management.

As of Friday morning, local authorities in Gwalior have yet to release an official statement regarding the security breach, though social media is flooded with mixed reactions—some supporting Kher’s stand on discipline and others criticizing the organizers for the chaos.

Bihar Man Arrested After Marrying Three Times in Three Years Without Divorce

Bihar Man Arrested After Marrying Three Times in Three Years Without Divorce

New Delhi, December 26, 2025: In a case that has stunned local residents and legal authorities alike, a man in Bihar’s Gopalganj district has been arrested for allegedly marrying three different women within a span of just three years—all without legally divorcing any of his previous spouses.

The accused, identified as Pintu Barnwal, was taken into custody on December 25, 2025, following formal complaints lodged by his first two wives. The case has highlighted a complex web of deception, domestic violence, and dowry demands.

The Web of Deception

The timeline of Barnwal’s marriages paints a picture of rapid-fire serial bigamy. According to police reports:

  • First Marriage: Pintu married Khushboo Kumari on December 2, 2022. Khushboo alleges that her family provided ₹3 lakh in cash, jewelry, and household items. She claims she was soon subjected to torture and eventually thrown out of the house.
  • Second Marriage: On April 18, 2024, while still legally married to Khushboo, Barnwal married Gudiya Kumari. Gudiya states she was kept completely in the dark about his first wife.
  • Third Marriage: Most recently, Barnwal married a third woman, who is currently residing with him.

The matter came to light when the first two wives discovered each other’s existence through local villagers. They soon realized that Pintu had fathered children with multiple wives; the second wife reportedly has a 10-month-old baby, while the third wife has a one-month-old infant.

Accusations of Dowry and Deceit

Both Khushboo and Gudiya approached the Gopalganj police, accusing Barnwal and his family of using marriage as a tool for financial gain. They alleged that the family would demand dowry, and if the demands weren’t met or once the money was exhausted, the women were harassed and replaced.

“He has ruined many girls’ lives,” Gudiya Kumari told reporters. “Every time a new girl comes, the family demands jewelry and cash. If it isn’t given, the torture begins.”

The Husband’s Defense

Following his arrest, Pintu Barnwal denied the allegations of dowry harassment, though he admitted to the three marriages. He claimed “compelling circumstances” forced his hand, citing his 60-year-old mother’s failing health.

“My mother suffers from heart disease and diabetes,” Barnwal claimed. “None of my earlier wives would even cook for her or take care of her. I was forced to marry a third time just to ensure someone was there to look after my mother.” He further made counter-allegations, claiming his first wife had previously attempted to attack him.

Legal Consequences

Under Indian law, bigamy is a serious criminal offense. Under Section 494 of the Indian Penal Code (IPC) (and its equivalent under the new Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita), marrying again while a first marriage is still legally valid can result in up to seven years of imprisonment and a fine.

The Gopalganj police have registered an FIR involving charges of bigamy, domestic violence, and dowry harassment. Pintu Barnwal has been produced before a local court and sent to judicial custody as the investigation continues.

Miracle in Surat: Man Falls from 10th Floor, Survives After Dangling from 8th-Floor Grille

Miracle in Surat: Man Falls from 10th Floor, Survives After Dangling from 8th-Floor Grille

New Delhi, December 26, 2025: In a heart-stopping incident that has since gone viral, a 57-year-old man in Surat narrowly escaped death on Thursday morning after falling from his 10th-floor apartment. The man, identified as Nitinbhai Adiya, miraculously survived when his leg became wedged in a window grille on the 8th floor, leaving him dangling upside down hundreds of feet above the ground.

The Incident: A Slip in Sleep

The terrifying ordeal began around 8:00 AM at the Time Galaxy residential building in the Jahangirabad area of Surat. According to family members and local authorities, Mr. Adiya was sleeping on a mattress placed near the window of his 10th-floor flat. In a tragic turn of events, he reportedly slipped out of the window in his sleep.

His fatal plunge was abruptly halted two floors down. Fate intervened as his leg got tightly caught between an iron window grille and a concrete balcony projection (chhajja) on the 8th floor. The impact left him suspended mid-air, hanging headfirst with a sheer drop beneath him.

A High-Stakes Rescue Operation

The sight of the man dangling precariously triggered immediate panic among residents, who quickly alerted the fire department. Within minutes, teams from the Jahangirpura, Palanpur, and Adajan fire stations arrived at the scene.

Firefighters executed a sophisticated, “double-protection” rescue strategy:

  • Ground Safety: A large safety net was deployed on the ground floor to catch Mr. Adiya in case he slipped during the rescue attempt.
  • Securing the Victim: Rescuers reached the 10th floor and lowered safety belts and ropes to secure his body while he was still suspended.
  • The Extraction: Simultaneously, another team reached the 8th-floor window. Because his leg was severely jammed, they used hydraulic cutters to carefully slice through the metal bars without causing a sudden jolt.

“Every second counted. We had to ensure he was secured from above before we even touched the grille on the 8th floor,” said a fire official involved in the operation.

A Tense Hour Ends in Relief

For nearly an hour, onlookers and residents watched in breathless silence as the rescue team battled gravity and limited space. Finally, after a grueling 60-minute operation, the firefighters successfully freed Mr. Adiya’s leg and pulled him through the window to safety.

The crowd below erupted in cheers as he was brought inside the building. Mr. Adiya, though conscious, was visibly shaken and in significant pain. He was immediately rushed to Gurukrupa Hospital via an ambulance.

Current Status

Doctors have confirmed that while Mr. Adiya suffered a leg fracture and minor bruising from the pressure of the grille, he is in stable condition and his injuries are not life-threatening. Local authorities have praised the swift coordination of the Surat Fire and Emergency Services, noting that their “textbook execution” turned a certain tragedy into a miraculous survival.

The incident has sparked discussions among Surat high-rise residents regarding the safety of window designs and the importance of installing protective meshes or grills, especially in homes with low windows.
