Birthdays are truly one of the most eagerly awaited and memorable days of our lives. However, for a Mumbai teenager, this birthday celebration went in the wrong direction. A 17-year-old boy from the Borivali area in western Mumbai has gotten himself in trouble with the law after he was found to have cut not one but twenty different birthday cakes to mark his special day. The problem was not with the huge number of cakes, but with the use of a sword to cut them. A video of the eyeball celebration has been shared on social media, where the boy can be seen cutting all the cakes in one go. The clip went viral and received the attention of the police and the media. Watch:

The video was shared by user @AhmedKhabeer_ on Twitter. In the clip, we can see twenty cakes lined up in a row right next to each other. Each cake has a different colored icing on top. The 17-year-old slashed them with his sword in one go in this weird turn and stunt on his birthday. Although there is no sound in the clip, it seems that passersby cheered him on on his birthday.
Mumbai police took immediate action upon seeing the boy’s happy birthday video. They tracked him down and gave him a Firearms Act notice for using a sword to cut his birthday cake. The violation has been registered and is pending further investigation, according to a statement by Mumbai Police to ANI. Watch:

This is not the only time the Mumbai police have heard the news. In April last year they sent a cake to a ‘responsible citizen’ for staying home on his birthday. This decision is commendable during the lockdown period when people are asked to stay at home to limit the spread of Coronavirus. Click here to read more about this story.
