A metro coach was booked on Noida Sector 51 Metro Station and the party was to start at 1:30 pm. Ritu Rathee Taneja, Gaurav’s wife, invited the YouTuber’s subscribers and fans to celebrate his birthday and also have a meet and greet session with him. YouTubers and celebrities usually organise such meet and greet sessions where they meet and have fun with their fans.
Earlier in 2022, Noida Metro Rail Corporation (NMRC) allowed people to celebrate birthdays and also organise pre-wedding shoots and other events by booking a coach in the metro. This facility, however, is only available in the Aqua line of the Noida metro. The initiative was initially launched in 2020, but due to COVID restrictions, the authorities had to put a hold on it.
After booking the coach in the metro, Ritu first informed the YouTuber’s subscribers that due to guidelines by NMRC they will have to restrict the number of people in the metro coach. However, she again posted an Instagram story and informed Flying Beast’s subscribers that she had to cancel the celebration citing personal reasons. Flying Beast’s fans arrived in huge numbers at the metro station and it became difficult for the metro authorities to handle the traffic jams and the crowd. Eventually, the YouTuber got arrested for violation of section 144.
For those who do not know, Gaurav Taneja was a pilot in Iar India, who after losing his job turned into a full-time YouTuber. he makes daily vlogs and enjoys 7.57 million subscribers on YouTube. Gaurav is also a fitness coach and a law student, while Ritu Rathee Taneja is also a pilot and the captain on Airbus A320. The couple is blessed with two daughters named Kiaravi and Chaitravi.
