Indian social media vlogger Anurag Dobhal, known as 'UK07 Rider,' is in intensive care after allegedly crashing his car on purpose during an Instagram livestream on March 7. The shocking moment was witnessed live by tens of thousands of his followers.
Dobhal, who has a large following across YouTube and Instagram through motorcycle vlogging, had been publicly describing a mental health crisis in the days preceding the incident. He is now receiving treatment in the ICU of Subharti Hospital in Meerut.
During the Instagram live session, Dobhal appeared visibly distressed and told viewers that he felt completely alone and had no one left to call. He then accelerated the car and crashed it, striking the divider and falling back onto the Dehradun lane.
Fortunately, people present near the accident site had quickly intervened and pulled Dobhal out of the vehicle before the situation worsened. Several videos from the spot surfaced online showing bystanders helping him and calling for medical assistance.
Dobhal's manager, Rohit Panday, has issued a statement about his condition, revealing that the YouTuber is currently in the ICU and urging fans to pray for his recovery.
In the days leading up to Saturday's livestream, Dobhal had publicly shared what he described as an acute mental health crisis, alleging that he had been subjected to continuous mental pressure and harassment by his family over the past several months.
However, his brother has publicly disputed his account, claiming that Dobhal had cheated on his wife and physically assaulted her, which led to her leaving him.
The online world has reacted with an outpouring of support for Dobhal, with fellow entertainment figures condemning online users who mocked him.
