The light-hearted nature of the arrest has left netizens both amused and surprised. The video has sparked a mix of reactions on X (formerly Twitter).
One user commented humorously, “The police is happy, the criminal is also happy.”
पुलिस भी खुश है, मुजरिम भी खुश है।

Another user, @Ajaykrkaswan, wrote, “The policemen are looking very cute, otherwise even the hardened criminals lose their smile.”
पुलिस वाले बड़े प्यारे लग रहे हैं वरना तो बड़े-बड़े की हंसी गायब हो जाती है

Not everyone saw the incident in a positive light, though.
@Manish_Anchor pointed out several concerns, writing, “See the negligence of police in the video: The accused is shooting the video and the policemen are laughing. Only two people can sit on a bike, but there are three, including the accused. One policeman is sitting with the accused without a helmet. What was the compulsion that forced the police to take the accused on a bike?”
वीडियो में पुलिस की लापरवाही देखिए
– आरोपी वीडियो शूट कर रहा है और पुलिसकर्मी ठहाके लगा रहे हैं।
– बाइक पर 2 व्यक्ति बैठ सकते हैं, इस पर आरोपी सहित 3 हैं।
– आरोपी के साथ 1 पुलिसकर्मी बिना हेलमेट के बैठा है।
– ऐसी क्या मजबूरी थी कि पुलिस आरोपी को बाइक से ले जाने पर विवश हुई?

Another user, @NareshNautiyall, criticised the state of law enforcement, saying, “This is the law and order situation in our country, where both the police and the criminals are happy, but no one thinks about those who are adversely affected by it. This is the reason why the practice of false witnesses, false FIRs, and fraud is increasing in the country. If we succeed in curbing this lie, then it is possible to establish a happy and prosperous society.”
यही है हमारे भारत की कानून व्यवस्था, जहां पुलिस और अपराधी दोनों खुश हैं, लेकिन जिन पर इसका प्रतिकूल प्रभाव पड़ता है, उनके बारे में कोई नहीं सोचता। यही कारण है कि देश में झूठे गवाह, झूठी एफआईआर और धोखाधड़ी का प्रचलन बढ़ता जा रहा है। यदि हम इस झूठ पर लगाम लगाने में सफल हो जाएं, तो…

Some took a lighter approach to the man’s demeanor in the video. “@KAMESHKUMAR93” suggested, “His crime was small that’s why he is laughing like this.”
इसका अपराध छोटा था इसलिए ऐसे हस रहे है

The unusual and seemingly friendly interaction between the police and the man has raised questions about both the seriousness of the arrest and the police’s conduct.
There has been no official confirmation or comment regarding the video from Delhi Police yet.
