A disturbing video of a guy in Kasganj, Uttar Pradesh, staging a murder scenario for an Instagram clip has gone popular on social media. A dead corpse is alongside him, cotton is in his nose, he is dressed in a shroud, and there is a marigold garland around his neck as he lies on the road in the 41-second film.

“Ram is the name of truth,” yells a passerby, causing the person to sit up. @SachinGuptaUP posted the video on platform X and said that Mukesh Kumar, the individual who was involved, has been taken into custody by the police.

In response to this widely shared film, users also posted comments. One said, “Reel has now gone beyond intoxication and has become mania and madness; such people are semi-insane and their ‘diagnosis’ is essential.” “People have become mentally unstable; everyone is obsessed with going viral,” another user remarked, complimenting the cops on their excellent work.
