"When the jeep did not start despite several attempts, Jadeja told his friend Gohel that he will set it on fire. Out of disbelief, Gohel asked Jadeja if he was serious about it," Gadhvi said.
Both of them had not planned to make a TikTok video, the inspector said.
"After shooting the video, Gohel shared it among his friends, who then circulated it on social media. Then someone added a Punjabi song in the background and edited this video using TikTok and made it viral as a TikTok video. Both the accused are out on bail as local court had refused to grant police remand," Gadhvi said.
