In a shocking incident that has sparked outrage, a video showing three boys hanging by nooses during a school function has gone viral on social media. The clip shows the boys on the stage, hanging by nooses attached to a wooden log. They are dressed in prisoner costumes and have their heads covered with black clothes. The stunt appears to be a part of a Republic Day program at a school. However, NDTV could not independently verify the authenticity of the video.
Sharing the clip on X, a user wrote, “It is wrong to put someone’s life in danger like this for a program.. It is necessary to investigate when and where the incident occurred and take cognizance of it.”
