Concern has grown among fans after YouTuber and former Bigg Boss 17 contestant Anurag Dobhal, popularly known as the UK07 Rider, was hospitalised following a car crash that occurred while he was live on Instagram.
Anurag Dobhal’s manager, Rohit Panday, later shared an update on Instagram, informing fans that the content creator had been moved to another hospital and is presently in the intensive care unit (ICU).
Sharing the update, Rohit Panday wrote: "Currently in ICU and please pray for him. We are in touch with doctors & everyone else. Thanks to people who have been supporting us, specially thanks to the fans who helped me figure out his location and got help for him aap log bhagwan ho sach mai."
The manager also expressed heartfelt gratitude to Anurag Dobhal’s supporters, explaining that a few fans played a key role in helping identify his location after the crash. According to Rohit Panday, four to five young followers stepped forward to assist, proving that online communities can be supportive in real-life situations.
He noted that many people often dismiss social media followers as not being genuine, but in this case, their help made a real difference.
Before sharing the health update, Rohit Panday had released an official statement confirming Anurag Dobhal’s hospitalisation and requesting people to avoid spreading speculation. The statement read: "On behalf of Team UK Rider, I as Anurag Dobhal's manager confirm that he is currently under medical observation in hospital. We request everyone to please treat this as the official statement and avoid continuous calls regarding the situation. If there are any further updates, we will share them at the appropriate time."
Rohit Panday also asked everyone to rely only on updates posted through his Instagram account for accurate information about Anurag Dobhal’s condition.
The influencer had titled the livestream his “last ride”, and the video ended abruptly after what appeared to be a sudden accident.
According to reports, Anurag Dobhal was seen driving his car during the Instagram live session when the situation quickly turned alarming.
The broadcast reportedly stopped immediately after the crash. While the YouTuber survived the incident, he was rushed to hospital soon after and is currently receiving medical care.
The incident comes shortly after Anurag Dobhal spoke about personal challenges in a recent vlog. In the video, he alleged that he had been facing mental harassment from his parents and brother. He also claimed that his wife, Ritika Chauhan, had distanced herself from him and their child.
During the vlog, Anurag Dobhal hinted that he had been struggling emotionally and had even considered ending his life, which had already raised concerns among his followers.
