Authorities swiftly responded to the viral video that depicted the peculiar incident. The Deputy Commissioner of Police (DCP) East, Jnanachand Yadav, revealed that the individual responsible for the act has been arrested by the Jawahar Circle Police Station, and his interrogation is underway. 

The incident took a curious turn as it was revealed that the young man was inspired by the popular Netflix series Money Heist, a Spanish heist crime drama television series created by Álex Pina. In the viral video that circulated widely on social media, the man, dressed in red attire reminiscent of the show's characters, wore a mask to conceal his identity. He stood atop the car's roof and signalled to attract the attention of passersby while throwing the currency notes.

As the currency notes fluttered down from above, a growing crowd scrambled to grab them, leading to a chaotic scene on the streets. Traffic in the area came to a standstill.
