According to a report by the Newsroom Post, the celebration was scheduled to begin at 1:30 pm, and a metro coach was reserved for Noida Sector 51 Metro Station. The YouTuber’s wife, Ritu Rathee Taneja, invited Gaurav’s subscribers and followers to a birthday celebration and a meet-and-greet with him. It was Ritu Rathee Taneja who is said to have booked the whole coach. These meet and greet events are typically organized by YouTubers and celebrities so that they can interact with and have fun with their fans.
After booking the metro coach, Ritu initially told the YouTuber’s viewers that they would need to limit the number of persons in the metro coach pursuant to NMRC restrictions. She then revealed to Flying Beast’s fans via another Instagram story that she had to postpone the party due to personal obligations. Massive crowds of Flying Beast enthusiasts descended onto the metro station, making it challenging for the police to control the traffic and the mob. The YouTuber was ultimately detained for violating section 144.
