Social media users expressed outrage towards the alleged ‘thieves’, with some even zooming in on the video footage to identify the number plate of the Kia Carnival. One user claimed that he knew one of the men and that he was an environmentalist who adopted dying plants from the roads and rejuvenated them with new life. He kept them at home to show how plants should be maintained and was setting an example for society.
The incident highlights the issue of theft and vandalism that can occur during high-profile events. The flower pots were arranged for the G20 event in Shankar Chowk, Gurugram, but it is unclear why the men were stealing them. The incident serves as a reminder to be vigilant during such events and to report any suspicious activity to the authorities.
