The video quickly gained traction online, with millions of views and an outpouring of anger in the comments section. One user questioned Dalal’s influence, commenting, “How can he be an influencer? Influencing others by rash driving, hitting other citizens on the road, and not even caring about them?”

In response to the mounting criticism, Rajat Dalal released a follow-up video addressing the controversy. He claimed that the viral footage was old and that he was unaware of how it had resurfaced. Dalal stated, “A video is going viral where people are showing a lot of anger and frustration. On my part, I would just like to say that I don’t have any data, nor do I have my Instagram account at the moment. I don’t even know where that video came from or how it went viral. The video that’s circulating now is old. I am done with all these controversies, fights, and abuses. I am moving forward in life and focusing on a positive path.”

Despite his response, public anger persists, with many calling for greater accountability from social media influencers whose actions behind the wheel can have serious consequences. The incident highlights the growing scrutiny around influencers and their responsibility to model safe and responsible behavior, both online and in real life.
