Bengaluru Man Throws Cash From Bengaluru Flyover 

This incident has drawn parallels to a similar event last year in Bengaluru, where a man was arrested for tossing currency notes off a flyover during peak traffic hours. The unexpected shower of cash, mostly in denominations of Rs 10, Rs 100, and Rs 200 led to a chaotic scramble that caused a significant traffic jam on Mysuru Road at KR Market.

Social media users have also been quick to point out the reckless nature of these actions urging authorities to take preventive measures to avoid such dangerous stunts from becoming a trend.
