In a bizarre incident from Hyderabad’s Kukatpally area, a youth, said to be an influencer and content creator, was seen showering some cash money on a busy road. A video showed the man stepping towards the road and throwing a bundle of cash into the air. The influencer was identified with his Instagram username ‘its_me_power.’
With currency notes in both hands, he disrupted the vehicular movement of the road and showered the money there. The incident was recorded by passersby and allegedly also by his fellow friend who helped him create the reel and release it online later.
