Never has a generation ever been so obsessed with thrusting into the limelight like gen-z. Easy access to platforms to become an overnight sensation makes matters even worse.
The same is the case with Shahnawaz alias Chota Bacha who became a social media sensation a few weeks ago after he first uploaded a video of him doing one-wheeling and other high-speed manoeuvers along with a girl seated on the bike on his different social media account.
The video garnered hundreds of thousands of views within hours and his following skyrocketed. The popularity and the need to maintain it motivated him to continue his stunts and put himself and others in danger, which unfortunately landed him behind bars.

The end of the articles says that ‘it unfortunately landed him behind bars’.
It would be more apt to write that ‘fortunately for people on the roads, it landed him behind bars and we anticipate that he will be fairly prosecuted and given some jail time following cancellation of his driver’s license (if he has any), a heavy fine and confiscation of his bike’. Such morons are a source of grave danger on the roads and should be made an example.
