Haryana-based Instagram influencer Bobby Kataria loves to make Facebook lives, flex his biceps, walk with swag like a celebrity to background music and be in the spotlight. The social media fame, followers and likes are his fuel. And he will do anything for them, even if it means being a dangerous public nuisance. 

In the latest, a video showing him smoking inside a SpiceJet plane is going viral. Balvinder AKA Bobby Kataria is seen sprawled in a row, lighting a cigarette and someone makes a video of him. He is also wearing pants with 'Bobby Kataria' written on them.

The video was shared by a lawmaker from Uttarakhand, Umesh Kumar, who asked the authorities to immediately look into the case and take action. Aviation minister Jyotiraditya Scindia even responded to it by saying that there will be no tolerance for such "hazardous" behaviour. 

Netizens had a lot of questions about the video and so did we. How did Kataria carry a lighter and a cigarette inside a plane? How was he casually smoking without anyone noticing? How did the lighter and cigarette, dangerous objects on a plane, slip by the hawkish airport authorities? Who's responsible for this dangerous negligence? 

Turns out, the video is an old one.  

The video is from January 2022 when Kataria had travelled from Dubai to New Delhi on a SpiceJet flight. Appropriate action was taken and the video was removed from Kataria's social media accounts. Kataria was also put on a no-flying list for 15 days.

But this is not the first time, the social media star created a nuisance.

Recently, on July 28, he uploaded a reel to Instagram showing him drinking alcohol in the middle of a road in Dehradun. The Uttarakhand Police are looking into the incident.

In another case in 2017, Kataria and his aides were booked for getting into a tussle with the police. Kataria had shared a Facebook live video of a minor girl being kidnapped. The police later found out that it was not a case of kidnapping, but a fight between two families. 

Bobby Kataria, a bodybuilder, became famous through TikTok. When TikTok was banned in India, he switched to Instagram and Facebook. Currently, he had some 630k followers on Instagram and even stand-up comedians crack jokes on him.
