Notably, YouTuber Gaurav Taneja and his wife Ritu Rathee Taneja invited fans to celebrate Gaurav’s birthday, on the 9th of July. Taneja and his wife Ritu allegedly booked a metro coach and invited followers of the Flying Beast to celebrate Gaurav’s birthday, which created a ruckus at Noida’s Sector 51 metro station.
There was a stampede due to the rush, but no casualties were reported. The Noida Sector 49 Police later reached the spot and calmed the travelers and Gaurav’s fans. Viral videos show hundreds of people crowding metro premises and nearby roads to get a glimpse of Gaurav.
