Popular YouTuber and Bigg Boss 17 contestant Anurag Dobhal, widely known as UK07 Rider, is currently undergoing medical treatment after a shocking incident that left his fans deeply concerned. The social media personality reportedly attempted suicide during an Instagram Live session on March 7, after which he suffered severe injuries in a car crash on the Delhi-Meerut Expressway near the Masuri area in Ghaziabad.

According to reports, Dobhal sustained multiple fractures in the accident and was immediately rushed to the hospital. Since then, he has been under medical supervision while doctors evaluate the extent of his injuries.

On March 9, Anurag’s manager Rohit Panday shared a health update through an Instagram story, informing followers that the YouTuber had been taken into the operation theatre for surgery. In the note, Panday explained that the medical team had decided to operate due to the seriousness of the fractures.

“Our priority is his health and recovery and nothing else,” Rohit wrote while requesting people not to speculate or spread rumours about Dobhal’s condition. He also clarified that he is currently the only authorised person to provide official updates about Anurag’s health.

Panday further mentioned that several friends and people from the entertainment and digital creator community had reached out to express concern and support. He also urged social media users to avoid directing hate toward anyone involved in the situation.

“Just because some people are not putting this on social media doesn’t mean they haven’t connected with us. We thank each and every one for the support,” he added.

At the hospital, Anurag Dobhal’s wife Ritika and several close friends are reportedly by his side as he undergoes treatment.

The controversy surrounding Dobhal’s mental health surfaced a few days earlier when he uploaded a nearly two-hour-long video on YouTube discussing the emotional struggles he had been facing. In the video, the YouTuber spoke about alleged harassment and distress from his parents following his marriage to Ritika, who belongs to a different caste.

Dobhal also claimed that he had been dealing with severe depression and said that if anything were to happen to him, his family should be held responsible. Around the same time, some reports suggested that his father had publicly disowned him, although the full details of the family dispute remain unclear.

Anurag Dobhal rose to widespread fame through his motorcycle and travel content on YouTube under the name UK07 Rider. His popularity grew further after appearing as a contestant on Bigg Boss 17, where he was involved in several high-profile confrontations with housemates including Abhishek Kumar, Isha Malviya, Vicky Jain, Neil Bhatt, and Munawar Faruqui.

As fans continue to await updates, messages of support and prayers for Dobhal’s recovery have been pouring in across social media platforms.
