Ghatkesar police arrested a 30-year-old YouTuber for creating a public nuisance by throwing bundles of Rs 200 notes along the Outer Ring Road in Hyderabad. This happened when YouTuber Bhanuchander, who is popularly known as Anchor Chandu, had posted an online video challenging his viewers to collect the money thrown by him.

The video quickly spread, causing huge crowds to rush the ORR near exit number 9 in Ghatkesar to collect the money. This created a traffic jam, resulting in a massive halt and further raising public safety concerns.
