Arun Kathare, a 26-year-old social media influencer from Bengaluru, gained notoriety when he posted a video on Instagram. In the video, he was escorted by men dressed as bodyguards, brandishing fake AK-47 guns outside a hotel in Chokkanahalli.

However, this stunt led to his arrest under the Arms Act and Section 290 of the Indian Penal Code for disturbing the public and instilling fear. 

The police discovered that the bodyguards were carrying rented fake guns that resembled AK-47s. Before this incident, Arun had won district and state Taekwondo competitions as a child. His controversial actions certainly made him a topic of discussion!
