“When did you begin pulling practical jokes on people?”
He explained, “That happened in 2018 when I began by playfully removing the wigs of unfamiliar women on the streets. From there, I progressed to executing a variety of pranks.”
“When you first started playing practical jokes, how was everyone responding?”
“Whenever my parents and Instagram users came across my pranks, they would ask about my location. My parents would caution me not to cause them any trouble,” he recounted.
He expressed, “If I were to rely on the comments of others on social media, I would not have made it this far. I am not influenced by people’s opinions, and I continue to pursue what brings me joy.”
“When you get arrested, how do you post bail?”
There was an incident where I executed a prank and ended up being arrested. Upon my arrival at the police station, I discovered that the Divisional Police Officer was actually a fan. We resolved the matter amicably. In situations where I encounter an unfamiliar DPO, I often come across someone who recognizes me.
