Gulzar Sheikh's Railway Track Stunts: YouTuber Arrested For Hazardous Videos

In an era where individuals are resorting to extreme measures for social media fame, disturbing videos have surfaced of a YouTuber placing random objects on railway tracks. These clips have drawn significant attention amid recent tragic train accidents.

BJP spokesperson Shehzad Poonawala has shared these videos, tagging relevant authorities and calling for action against the YouTuber, identified as Gulzar. He commented, "Identify these anti-nationals who create railway accidents. There have been several instances of sabotage, such as covering signals with paper and placing deliberate obstacles on tracks. Look at Gulzar Sheikh putting stones, cycles, and other obstacles on rail tracks. We need to know how many others are doing this to cause train accidents."

Another social media account added, "This is Mr. Gulzar Sheikh from Lalgopalganj, UP, who places random objects on tracks for YouTube money, endangering thousands of passengers." The account also shared Sheikh's social media links to substantiate their claim.

The videos have sparked outrage among viewers, with accusations that Gulzar is creating these dangerous stunts to gain views, likes, and financial rewards.

In response to the outcry, Gulzar Sheikh was arrested by Uttar Pradesh police on Thursday.

A review of Sheikh's YouTube channel, "Gulzar Indian Hacker," reveals a troubling array of videos and shorts featuring him placing various items on railway tracks. Despite occasional disclaimers warning viewers against replicating these dangerous stunts, his content consistently showcases such risky behavior. The channel includes over 243 videos, with one short accumulating 99 million views. It has more than 235,000 subscribers and a total view count exceeding 137 million.

The earliest recorded instance of this hazardous behavior dates back to January 2024, when Sheikh placed earbuds on the tracks. Subsequent videos show him placing a 500-gram weight and an axe on the tracks, further highlighting his blatant disregard for safety.
