In a shocking and viral incident that has been reported from Russia, party revellers stripped naked for a chance to win an iPhone, leading to public outrage. Recently, a nightclub in Russia hosted a shocking competition for an iPhone. But this was no regular competition. In the shocking competition, contestants were asked to strip naked in exchange for an iPhone. The event was captured on cameras and uploaded online. Ever since it was uploaded, it went viral and led to the local authorities responding to the video. According to claims, the footage had many men and women who seemed to be between the ages of 22 and 24. They were standing on a stage and gradually started removing their clothes in front of a crowd that was allegedly cheering them on. Even though some participants dropped out before fully taking off their clothing, some went on to dance naked on a pole. 'Russian Bar Girls' Dance in Uttar Pradesh: Mathura Police Registers Case After Video of ‘Obscene’ Dance During Holi Celebration Goes Viral.

According to reports, since the video had spread online, it quickly turned into a nightmare. The police raided the nightclub and arrested many people who organised the competition. Even the participants were taken into custody and face potential detention of up to 15 days. One of the women who participated in the strip competition has since issued an apology for her actions. In her apology, she also expresses remorse, shame, and regret for taking part in such a competition. The incident has even drawn criticism from Russian officials, including Putin’s governor, Igor Babushkin. After the incident became viral, he expressed his outrage and anger against it and even called the event a disgrace and humiliation of human dignity.

He further criticised the participants for their actions, especially during a time of national crisis and when there is a war going on in Ukraine. The incident has raised important questions about where to draw boundaries and what kind of behaviour is acceptable in public spaces, especially when the country is facing major challenges. Uttar Pradesh: Video of 'Russian Bar Girls' Performing 'Obscene' Dance Allegedly During Holi Celebration in Mathura Goes Viral.
