The disturbance caught the attention of nearby bystanders, who not only intervened but also recorded the event, which quickly escalated in visibility after being shared widely on social media platforms. Dehradun's Senior Superintendent of Police (SSP) Ajay Singh was alerted to the viral video, prompting swift action against Kumar due to the inappropriate behavior documented.
