A video of a girl hanging from the top of an abandoned building in Pune went viral on Thursday. The girl is seen supported by a youngster, who is holding her hand. All this dangerous stunt was done to make an Instagram reel. The video raised a lot of eyebrows with many criticising the act.
The incident took place near Swami Narayan Temple in Pune.
The video, which went viral on social media, showed a man shooting the video from the ground. Another person was leaning close to the edge of the roof to shoot the video. There were no safety precautions taken by anyone. Apparently, they were testing the “grip strength”.

"Strength but they are ignoring friction part, just in case if there is sweat, she will slip easily, which has nothing to do with strength," wrote another user.
Many social media users have called the act "reckless". People have also sought the officials to take action against such content creators. However, no official complaint has been filed so far.
"They should be booked and punished severely with 3-6 months imprisonment and parents also must undergo strict fine and punishment, only then will they have a check on their children," wrote one user commenting on the video.
Another user called the stunt a “sadistic” behaviour. “A micro-second mistake will cost the girl her life. The two boys are so irresponsible to put the girls life at risk even if encouraged by her. All the hearts and likes for such a video seems to suggest how sadistic people are. when a precious life is at 100% risk.”
