Inspired by the entries of actors in films, a 23-year-old brandished a sickle and created a video of himself via Tik-Tok to scare locals as a dada, and was promptly arrested by the police.

The person has been identified as Deepak Aba Dhakale, a resident of Rahatani. A case has been filed with Wakad police station which falls under the jurisdiction of Pimpri-Chinchwad police. Due to the elections, the police have issued prohibitory orders against carrying weapons openly in public places.
