Kiki Challenge: India police warn against dangerous dance trend

Kiki challenge is the latest trend that has taken the Internet by storm and it's giving sleepless nights to police across India and the world.

The challenge involves a person jumping out of a slow moving car and dancing alongside it and it has been inspired by singer Drake's latest hit In My Feelings. The trend is also known as "doing the Shiggy," thanks to comedian Shiggy who posted a video of him dancing to the song.


There have been many warnings against this dangerous trend as some people have been injured while trying to undertake this challenge. Videos that have gone viral have shown people crashing into poles and tripping on potholes.

Mumbai police took to microblogging platform Twitter to note that the dance challenge could put others’ lives at risk. Police warned people to “Desist from public nuisance or face the music!”

Cops in other countries such as the UAE, USA, Spain and Malaysia have also issued similar warning about the dangers of undertaking the Kiki challenge.
