A roadside strawberry cupcake stall in Shaheen Bagh turned into a viral sensation overnight, drawing such massive crowds that Delhi Police had to shut it down on Wednesday. The stall, run by two young women and promoted through Instagram handle @cup_craze26, saw hundreds flocking to 40 Foota Road after videos of their INR 250 cupcakes went viral. As crowds swelled, traffic congestion worsened and police struggled to control the gathering. Officials said they first tried to disperse people, but later carried out a mild lathi charge when the situation became unmanageable. The stall was eventually closed. No injuries or arrests were reported. The incident has sparked debate online, with some questioning the hype and pricing, while others highlighted the growing power of social media in boosting small businesses.
