The authenticity of the video however could not be immediately confirmed. The exact location where the incident was reported, and on what date also could not be immediately confirmed.

Netizens sprung into a mixed set of reactions. While some enquired if the handset survived, while some questioned the user by asking why only poor people face instant karma while bigger moneyed criminals get away with what they do everyday.
