Man arrested in Kasganj for staging fake death for social media Fame
New Delhi: In Kasganj, Uttar Pradesh, tension escalated as a man's quest for internet celebrity went too far. A 23-year-old guy named Mukesh Kumar is shown in a video circulating on social media laying motionless and acting dead on a busy Kasganj road.
In the film, an unsettlingly lifelike scenario is created by the white bed sheet covering his "dead" corpse, cotton stuffed behind his nostrils, and a flower garland around his neck.But just as the video was coming to an end, Kumar burst into laughing. Surprised onlookers realized they had been duped into thinking they were watching an elaborate prank , and they quickly alerted the police.
Consequently, local police detained Kumar for causing public confusion and disturbance. The description for the video, which was posted on X, read, "A young man in the Kasganj district of #UttarPradesh pretended to die by lying down in the middle of a busy intersection." "Reel star" Mukesh Kumar has been taken into custody by the police."
Additional Superintendent of Police Shri Rajesh Bharti stated that the event happened in Kasganj, Uttar Pradesh, at the Raj Cold Storage area. "The man has made a video by sleeping on the road and creating a shock through his video," he claimed in a video statement. We have taken note of this and have detained the individual we have identified as Mukesh Kumar. Further action will be taken."
Social media users have strongly condemned Kumar for his insensitive and attention-seeking behavior in response to the stunt video. His careless attempt to go viral has incited anger and sparked worries about the dangers of an addiction with social media.
While one user said, "Reel makers are ready to go to any extent," another said, "I never thought people would stoop so low for views." A third user posted, "The world is full of strange and crazy people, they should be given training to make good reels." There was an additional statement, "This reel disease is increasing."

Stalin claims DMK secured 1.54 crore votes
Chennai (PTI): DMK president M K Stalin on Tuesday, in a veiled reference to the TVK, claimed that the party that won additional constituencies has gained only 17.43 lakh more votes than the DMK.
He was referring to the April 23 Assembly polls where the DMK and its allies secured 74 seats, with the Dravidian party netting 59 constituencies.
In a statement, Stalin said, "the percentage difference in votes between us and them is just 3.52 per cent," in an apparent reference to the Vijay-led Tamilaga Vettri Kahzagam emerged victorious in the polls, the results of which were announced on Monday.
Claiming that the DMK alliance has secured 1.54 crore votes, Stalin said, "I consider each and every one of your votes as an invaluable token of trust".
Stating that DMK has been in power several times, he said "there is no victory we have not seen and there is no defeat we have not faced".
"Whether in victory or defeat, those who regard them equally and continue their journey toward their ideals are the comrades of the party", he said adding "you are the lifeblood and roots of the movement".
"The harvest of 1.54 crore votes is the fruit of your commitment", he said.
"What return can I offer for your hard work? With the feeling of being the chief worker, we will continue our journey," the DMK chief added.
Stalin said "if we are the ruling party, we will formulate schemes for the people. If we are the opposition party, we will fight for the people's demands. In that regard, now as a strong opposition party, we will continue to work for the people".
Asserting that the DMK will continue the journey of taking forward the policies of the century-old great Dravidian movement, protecting race, language, and nation, the DMK leader said "in our journey, I will not leave anyone behind. We will win again".
