Police Arrests 25-Year Old Indian Origin Man in California Again For Driving His Tesla From Backseat
News 18An Indian origin man who pulls off stunts to flaunt his wealth was arrested in California for letting his Tesla car illegally “autodrive", but as soon as he was let out he bought a new one and repeated the stunt, according to media reports. Sharma had himself posted on social media recordings of him letting the car go on “autopilot" while in the backseat. The digital media Vice, which described him as a “disgustingly rich brat", said he had posted pictures “of himself doing everything from throwing away thousands of dollars by tying cash to balloons, hosting cash sweepstakes…" He told Vice in a 2013 interview that he had given away $100,000 in these stunts. KPIX CBS TV reported that Sharma, who flaunts his wealth, makes social media posts insulting people as “blue collar peasants" who can’t understand his lifestyle and that he drives his fancy cars into “ghettos" — a racially loaded word — “to make you feel small".
