Money Heist: Man dressed as Money Heist character throws money on people from top of car, arrested

In a bizarre incident of what looks like clout chasing, a man from Jaipur was arrested after a video showing him getting atop a car and throwing money on people went viral. What’s more, the person was imitating characters from the famous Netflix show ‘Money Heist‘ by wearing an identical red jumpsuit along with a Salvador Dali mask.
The video shows the man standing on the top of a parked Maruti Suzuki Alto on a busy road in front of a shopping mall, throwing Rs 20 currency notes in the air, with people circling around his car in a bid to collect as much money as they can. The video then shows how this act resulted in a traffic jam in the area, and Jaipur Police was quick to take cognizance.
Take a look at the viral video below –

“A person attempting to gain social media fame by throwing money from top of a car in Jaipur was arrested on October 3, 2023,” announced Jaipur Police on their official X (formerly Twitter) handle.

A similar incident was reported in Gurugram earlier this year when a YouTuber was arrested after throwing fake currency on road from the back of a moving vehicle. According to the police, the miscreants were trying to recreate the money-chasing scene from Shahid Kapoor and KK Menon starrer web series ‘Farzi’. Both of them were latter arrested and also changed under the MV act.
