‘In jahil gawaro ko..’: Netizens slam Noida men performing midnight car stunt while playing 'Squid Games' song

The popular Korean thriller series Squid Game, which aired on Netflix, gained immense popularity among Indians, inspiring many. But what happens when the ‘round and round’ song from Squid Game Season 2 is mixed with a car stunt in Noida at night? The result: a hefty fine of ₹33,000.

This is what happened: three men played the song in their Delhi-registered Toyota Fortuner SUV and performed stunts around a roundabout at night.

In one of the videos, a man can be seen sitting on the SUV’s windshield while two others are clinging to the doors. Meanwhile, the ‘round and round’ song from Squid Games can be heard playing in the background.

The actions of these three men attracted immediate criticism for flouting traffic and safety rules on social media. After Noida police swung into action and issued a fine of ₹33,000 against the vehicle owner for violations, these include dangerous driving, disobedience of the law, driving without valid insurance, using tinted glass and not wearing seat belts.

Here's the video:

Here's how netizens reacted:
