Mumbai: RPF trains its guns on Kiki challenge

MUMBAI: Even while Railway Protection Force (RPF) are hunting for a youngster whose video performing the Kiki challenge at CSTM has gone viral on YouTube, a parody filmed at Virar station has now gained many more views. The challenge involves getting out of a vehicle and dancing on the road next to the vehicle while it's in motion. The video shot at CSMT and uploaded on July 30 shows a youngster dancing in a stationary train, alighting, dancing on the platform and hopping back in.

"We are trying to find out who uploaded the video on YouTube. It has been shot on platforms 4-5 of CSMT," said a senior GRP official. The video, uploaded by Somu Stoodio, has garnered 29,000 views so far. RPF has recorded an offence against the youngster seen in the video.

A parody by Funcho Entertainment at Virar has got 1.4 million views on YouTube. The group got many reactions from viewers, on their Instagram handle, some demanding parodies on Central Railway.

Railway authorities fear impressionable minds watching these videos will try to imitate them and hurting themselves. Performing stunts is a penal offence under Indian Railways Act.

Mumbai Police had also issued an advisory on their Twitter handle, asking people to desist from taking the challenge.
