In a bid to probably get famous quick, a group of 7 YouTubers decided to prank people on the streets of Bengaluru by scaring the living daylights out of them. These friends dressed up in white, accompanied by fake blood and scary makeup were looking to recreate a prank that had previously gone viral on YouTube. 

However, an auto driver they scared into reversing his auto and escaping the scene, filed a report at the Yeshwantpur area police station. The cops then started to canvas the streets and caught them red-handed, reported India Today.
