Meanwhile, it has caused a concern for public safety as they were found deliberately throwing crackers at other commuters. A user said, “They are one foot away from psychopaths. They need to be punished for their psycho behavior and with restrictions on them to roam in public.”

Bengaluru Police said they would not tolerate such public behavior and warned people not to indulge in such activities. In an X post, Bengaluru police said, “Keep the sparks in the sky, not on the street – or you might end up in cuffs! Let’s keep our roads safe and spark-free.”

A user also advised cops to try to prevent crime by publicizing strict action. A user named Balaji wrote, “Kudos to you guys for doing an extraordinary job! You’re setting an example for the country by swiftly capturing culprits. Request: please advertise your efforts in many places to prevent crimes rather than just reacting after they happen.”
