The incident occurred near the Elite-Chitra Road flyover in Jhansi's Nawabad area.

"We took cognisance of the video showing foam being sprayed on an elderly man’s face on a road. Nawabad police have arrested Vinay Yadav. He claims to be a YouTuber. Appropriate action will be taken against him,” Jhansi Police said in a statement.

A photo released by the police shows Yadav behind bars with folded hands. In a video shared by the police, the YouTuber can be seen walking with difficulty.

Earlier in July this year, an 11-year-old boy died after he tied a noose around his neck while shooting a prank reel for social media in Madhya Pradesh's Morena district.

Karan Parmar, a Class 7 student, was playing with other children on the vacant plot near his house at the time.

In the purported video shot by a boy at the scene, Karan has a noose tied from a tree around his neck, and he acts like he is in pain while others around him continue to play. The other children thought the boy was acting, but he soon lost consciousness.
