‘Hindustani Bhau’ Uses Ambulance to Travel During Curfew
Hindustani Bhau travelled in an ambulance to Shivaji Park for a protest to hoodwink the police.
Vikas Fhatak also known as‘Hindustani Bhau’, was a former contestant on reality TV show Big Boss and he also used to make YouTube videos where he abused several people and celebrities because of which his YouTube account was deleted. On Friday 7th May, Fhatak posted on his Twitter account that he would stage a protest all by himself at Shivaji Park on Saturday 8th May, demanding the government to cancel 12th board exams and wave off fees during the pandemic.To ensure he is not traced or stopped by police, Fhatak arranged an ambulance and travelled to Shivaji Park to hoodwink the police.As the ambulance service falls in the category of emergency service, it is not stopped by the police at any of the checkpoints. On learning that Fhatak had reached Shivaji park, a local police team went and detained him around 12.30 pm. But Fhatak was surrounded by 15 media persons who had reached there before the cops. When the police reached there and arrested Fhatak, the media had surrounded him. Pranaya Ashok, DCP zone 5, of Mumbai Police said, “Fhatak travelled in an Ambulance to Shivaji Park. It’s a gross publicity stunt with misuse of a vital medical facility. He has been arrested and an FIR registered.”
