Gujarat’s businessman burst crackers on a busy road to celebrate his son’s birthday.
A birthday celebration on a busy road in Gujarat by a businessman has triggered widespread anger and concern after the man was seen bursting firecrackers, halting the traffic for 5 minutes. The incident happened in Surat and involved a local businessman, who chose to mark his son’s birthday in a way that put other road users at risk. The act was recorded on camera and later shared online, where it quickly drew attention. Many viewers questioned how such behaviour was allowed on a public road, especially with vehicles passing by and people stuck in traffic.
More on the video showing businessman bursting firecrackers on road.
The video shows a man identified as Deepak Ijardarstanding in the middle of a street, while another person helps him light firecrackers. Cars and two-wheelers are visible nearby, and loud honking can be heard in the background as motorists wait for the road to clear. Despite the noise and chaos, the man continues with the celebration. The next part shows Deepak raising both his hands in the air while holding two large firework fountains. Sparks shoot upward as smoke fills the area. People stand close by, some watching, while vehicles slowly pass on the side. The firecrackers go off just a few feet away from moving traffic. Another video shows him bursting crackers again on the main road, even though the road wasn’t blocked and there were no signs of safety measures being in place.

When questioned about the incident, Deepak Ijardar reportedly brushed off the criticism and said, “I am a celebrity. What serious crime did I commit if I stopped you for five minutes?” The Dumas police in Surat stepped in after the video went viral. Deepak Ijardar was reportedly booked under Section 223 of the BharatiyaNyayaSanhita (BNS) for bursting firecrackers on a public road and causing disruption.
