As shattered glass scattered inside the SUV, he removed his sunglasses and posed for the camera while several women applauded in the background.The stunt was filmed by another person, while several men were seen sitting on the roof of the Thar as the act unfolded.Multiple social media accounts identified the man as Instagram influencer amitbossnarwana, who has more than 807,000 followers on the platform. His identity, however, could not be verified independently. The clip gained wider attention after an X user reposted it with the caption: “Indians are filming themselves destroying their own cars and getting into debt for the repairs just to look cool.”As the act triggered outrage, several users questioned the purpose of the stunt. “That does not look cool. It looks incredibly retarded. Angsty teenagers do this because they have not learnt responsibility yet,” one user wrote.Another commented, “Only a path of dust and destruction is left behind by these people. They are a net negative to all societies.”Several similar stunt videos are available on the Haryana-based influencer's Instagram account, many of which feature risky acts involving vehicles.- EndsPublished On: Jul 28, 2026 12:11 IST
