One of the bloggers was in the car and filmed the incident, including the driver's reaction. In the prank video, one of the group jumped into the driving seat and took off in the high-end BMW as the driver was helping another member of the group load bags into the boot of the car. Sources claim that soon, the taxi was returned informing the concerned of the prank - it has got them to legal consequences.
One of the men involved has been named as Aidyn Tussupov, who has 1.2 million followers on Instagram.
