New Delhi: Heard about the viral 'ghost prank' yet? It's all over the internet now. However, the prank went horribly wrong for the group of seven YouTubers as they were arrested by the police on Tuesday.
Dressed like ghosts in blood-stained white robes, masks and wigs, these seven youngsters took to the streets of Bengaluru to scare people for a prank. The incident took place in Sharifana Nagar area of Yeswanthpur on Monday night.
As the 'ghosts' spooked people out in the night, one of them recorded the video for reactions.
