Vikas Fhatak, aka, Hindustani Bhau, is trending on social media once again. The Big Boss 13 contestant uploaded a video where he was seen hurling abuses citing recent incidents on religious context. In a rather derogatory language, Bhau was seen speaking and not caring about the ‘system’ anymore and take the matter in his own hands through violence. While the original (trigger warning: foul language) video has been taken down, the clip has been re-shared online by the netizens, who now demand his arrest and verified Instagram account to be revoked. Popular social media personalities and other stand-up comedians such as Kunal Kamra, too called him out, urging the police officials to take action against him for his ‘hate-speech’ video.
Bhau always records his videos sitting in his car and sharing his opinion about certain situations, often in a derogatory and abusive manner. Aside from YouTube, he also runs a verified Instagram account, where he has more than 3 million followers. In the latest now-deleted video, the social media ‘influencer’ was seen to highlight a series of events that were in the news due to religious context. He spoke about the viral video showing woman in Bahrain damaging Lord Ganesh idols and a few more incidents, speaking about not caring the ‘system’ anymore and take matters in his own hands. He added that whosoever makes fun of his religion or God will not be forgiven, and urges his followers to bash those found in such acts openly. Hindustani Bhau Makes His Twitter Debut, Reveals He Has Used Up The Money He Earned From Bigg Boss To Help The Needy Amid Lockdown.
Popular social media personalities and other users showed their displeasure over the viral video. They demand strict against Bhau and also questioned how his significantly abusive videos earned him a verified account on Instagram. "This man #hindustanibhau has a verified account on Instagram and he has the job to give open call to violence. He do so in his every video. This can create mob and result danger. For all of this he was the part of #BiggBoss last year," wrote one Twitter user. Check out more tweets below in this article.
