A Gujarat-based businessman has triggered widespread public outrage after obstructing a busy public road and setting off firecrackers to celebrate his son’s birthday, raising serious concerns over public safety and civic responsibility.
The incident, involving businessman Deepak Ijardar, occurred on a crowded roadway where traffic was brought to a halt to make way for the celebration. Video footage of the episode, which has since gone viral on social media, shows firecrackers being ignited in the middle of the road, creating a hazardous situation for passing motorists.
According to eyewitness accounts and video evidence, Ijardar and his associates blocked vehicles on the road and allegedly intimidated commuters when questioned. In some instances, firecrackers were reportedly brandished in a threatening manner, prompting alarm among drivers and pedestrians alike.

The controversy intensified following Ijardar’s response to public criticism. Dismissing concerns over safety and legality, he reportedly said, “I am a celebrity. I only stopped you for five minutes. What serious crime did I commit?” The remark was widely condemned as arrogant and irresponsible, further fuelling online backlash.
Residents and social media users accused the businessman of displaying a sense of entitlement, arguing that wealth and influence do not grant immunity from the law. There have been growing calls for police to take suo motu action against those involved and to ensure strict enforcement of traffic and public safety regulations.
The incident has once again brought into focus the need for accountability and equal application of the law, particularly in cases where public spaces are misused for private celebrations, endangering the safety of ordinary citizens.
