A video of the incident has gone viral on Instagram, showing a man proposing to his girlfriend in the middle of the street after staging a false gunpoint robbery. The footage begins with a red automobile approaching an intersection before a pedestrian and two men on motorcycles block its way. They demand that the couple sitting inside the car step out, while one of the men points what appears to be a concealed weapon at the woman. Two gang members then force the male to his knees, holding the woman in front of him. In a wild plot twist, the men stop shouting and the kneeling man takes out a ring to propose to his fiancée, eliciting applause. After discovering it’s a joke, the woman hits him repeatedly as he places the ring onto her finger. The couple then embraces and kisses to celebrate their engagement, as his accomplices cheer them on.

While some were thrilled by the complex prank, others wondered why the young man felt it was a good idea.
“You have to love someone wholeheartedly to be with them in health and sickness, in kidnappings or robberies,” chimed in. Another remarked, ”He almost gave the girl a heart attack, and he would have been left without a girlfriend.
A third user remarked, ”She took it so casually that I don’t know whether to worry about the country’s situation or think it’s fake.”
A fourth said, ”How sad it is to have violence and insecurity so normalized.”
