A rap song purportedly featuring the juvenile, boasting about how he got away with the Porsche crash, went viral on social media on Thursday. Immediately, Pune Police clarified that it was a fake account and that the teenager had no role in the video. Later, it was found that the rap video was of a social media influencer called Aryan Dev Neekhra.
In the video, Neekhra, whose Instagram username is @cringistaan2, mocked the accident and sang, “Kuch sunoge, karke baithe main nashe in my Porsche, saamne aaya couple mere ab woh hai neeche sound so cliche, sorry gaadi chad gayi aap pe, satra ki umra khoob paise mere baap pe, ek din main mil gaye mujhe bail, fir se dikhaunga sadak ka khel.”
Neekhra again took to Instagram and put up a video in which he openly abused the news channels for revealing details about him. He once again uploaded a rap video (on Insta Stories) and mocked and ridiculed the victims of the accident.
Meanwhile, the Cyber Cell of Pune Police on Saturday registered an FIR against the social media influencer and another Instagram user, Shubham Shinde (shubhamshinde.i), who also uploaded Neekhra's video. They have been booked under Sections 509, 294 B of IPC and 67 of IT Act.
