MUMBAI: A social media influencer was arrested on Thursday after he posted a video clip of a dangerous stunt on railway tracks.
Armaan Shaikh, 21, who has almost 2 lakh followers on Instagram, is seen pretending to shoot himself on the track with a gun, which was later found to be a cigarette lighter.
This is the second time Shaikh has been arrested since the lockdown began in 2020 for performing stunts.
“When the video went viral, we identified the stretch of tracks near Jogeshwari.
We found Shaikh’s social media accounts and started checking his videos for leads to track him down,” said senior inspector Dattatreya Nikam, Andheri GRP.
In a news channel report on YouTube, police found Shaikh and his friend, Arbaaz Khan, had been arrested at Vikhroli Parksite in 2020 for uploading a clip of standing on a motorcycle while riding.
The GRP got Shaikh’s Ghatkopar address from the Parksite police.
Shaikh got to know when the cops arrived, and fled.
But the police kept a watch and eventually nabbed him.
He has been booked for ticketless travel on railway property and not wearing a mask violating lockdown guidelines, besides other provisions.
