Pranks are meant for amusement and humor but excess of everything is bad. Now-a-days, YouTubers are going to any extent to make their videos superhit and for this, they never mind being shameless or vulgar. However, this vulgarity or the so-called entertainment proved to be dangerous for a YouTuber ‘Crazy Sumit’ and he landed up in jail ultimately.
It so happened that the guy posted a prank video wherein he kissed random women and ran away. Even though it was just for the sake of a prank video or amusement for him, a number of people found it offensive, as it’s no less than molestation.

Moreover, there’s a huge difference between prank and molestation and for the same, Sumit Verma and his associate Satyajeet have been taken into custody by Delhi police, as they are accused of molestation and distribution of obscene material.
Not just #CrazySumit but the person who took the videos should be punished. Sexual harassment, kissing without… https://t.co/YD1KPjuQYu

Last week, a case had been lodged against the YouTuber under IPC Section 354 (assault or criminal force to woman with intent to outrage her modesty) and IT Act Section 67 (punishment for publishing or transmitting obscene material in electronic form). As per cops, Delhi Police’s Crime Branch unit detained them from Gurgaon.
The controversial video was deleted after outrange and condemnation on social media; however, it came into the notice of cops and then, an appropriate action was taken. Just to inform, Sumit’s YouTube channel ‘The Crazy Sumit’ has more than 1.5 lakh subscribers and is actively running since the year 2015.
Subsequent to the criticism that he had to face after posting the “kissing and running” prank, he posted one more video in which he asked for apology; however, it was removed from the Internet as well.
To what extent is it justifiable to do just anything in the name of a prank video? Pranks are good and a good source of laughter, if done properly and in a positive light but kissing or any other act of this kind is totally unacceptable. What do you have to say in this regard?
