An investigation was initiated by Uttarakhand's director general of police (DGP) Ashok Kumar after the video of the Instagram influencer consuming alcohol on a busy Dehradun road went viral.
In the video, Kataria can be seen sitting on a chair in the middle of a road and consuming alcohol. The lyrics of the music which was playing in the background says, "Roads apne baap ki".
It is not just this video, Kataria, hailing from Gurugram, has been in the news recently for multiple reasons. A bodybuilder and a lifestyle blogger, he enjoys over 6 lakh followers on Instagram and is also very popular on other social media platforms including Facebook and Twitter.
Most of his contents on social media centres around his "lavish" lifestyle, flexing his bulging muscles, and sharing fitness tips. He also often is seen discussing social issues.
Another video of Kataria has landed him in more trouble. Shot when he reportedly was travelling from Dubai to New Delhi on a SpiceJet flight on 23 January this year, in which he lit a cigarette while lying down on one of the middle rows of the plane.
For the unversed, passengers are not allowed to take lighter in the plane and smoking also is prohibited inside the aircraft.
