In the morning, Arun arrived at the flyover on a scooter, dressed in a coat and pants and with a wall clock hanging from his neck, and started throwing notes down on the road below where a crowd gathered seeing his action. An associate was filming him throwing the notes. He did not comment on the motive behind his action.
The police claimed the act was a publicity stunt and they were contemplating a case under Indian Penal Code (IPC) Section 283 B for obstruction of public movement.
