Three youths who performed the Kiki challenge in front of a moving train and an ambulance, have been ordered to clean the Vasai railway station for three days by the Vasai Railway Court on Thursday.
According to a senior Railway Protection Force (RPF) official, those three were also asked to spread awareness among people to not take up these challenges.
It was comedian Shiggy who started the trend by posting a video on Instagram, where he was seen dancing to the song. After that, the trend is also known as In My Feelings challenge or “doing the Shiggy”.
Coming back to the case of these three youth, they uploaded the Kiki challenge video a week ago which has been viewed by 2.2 million people. This proves that the video has gone viral, giving out a wrong message, despite of police of trying to create awareness regarding this matter.
