As penalty, the court has asked the three men to clean a local railway station in Mumbai and also spread public awareness against such ‘dangerous’ stunts.

‘Kiki challenge’ is the newest craze that has taken the online world by storm, especially in India, where the social networking platforms are currently flooded with people performing their own versions of the stunt.

For the uninitiated, the challenge involves a person jumping out of a moving car and dancing along to international artist Drake’s hit song “In My Feelings”. 

But in Mumbai, three men took it a little too far and got themselves arrested for performing the stunt, in a moving train.

The trio Shyam Sharma, Dhruv Shah and Nishant Shah then posted the video of them taking the challenge on Youtube, which has since gone viral with over two million views.

In the video, one of the youngsters can be seen leaping off a train and dancing and running alongside a moving train, while his friend films the sequence on his phone.

At the same time, a third man can be seen partially hanging out of the train while gyrating on the hit number.

The offenders who were detained by the Railway Protection Force earlier this week, were later produced at a local court which has handed over a unique punishment to the three friends.
As a penalty, they have been ordered to clean a railway station in Mumbai for three consecutive days and have also been entrusted with the task of warning others to stay away from such ‘dangerous’ stunts.

In addition, the detainees have been asked to film a video of them spreading public awareness against the challenge and submit it as a proof to the court.
Just last week, a video of two Indian farmers performing a muddy version of the jig in southern India had broken the internet, making the two an instant hit on social media.
The clip showcased the duo happily grooving away in the soaking rice field while a pair of oxen pulled the rickety plough.
