Wedding Guests Gift Drum in Murder Case Joke, Video Sparks Outrage in UP
Hamirpur wedding prank referencing Meerut murder triggers massive backlash online
In the viral video, wedding attendees are seen presenting the drum to the couple, triggering uneasy laughter and discomfort among the guests. Though intended as a prank, the gesture has sparked widespread outrage on social media. Many users have slammed the video as "insensitive" and "deeply disturbing," highlighting the erosion of empathy in the name of viral content and shock value.
“The world has become ill. People have made fun of this massacre in every street. When something like this happens to them, only then will they understand the pain,” one user commented, reflecting the anger shared by many.
Mental health experts and social commentators have also expressed concern over how brutal crimes are being trivialised in public spaces, particularly on social media, for entertainment.
Authorities in Hamirpur have not issued an official statement on the video yet. However, pressure is mounting on local administration to identify those involved and take action.
The episode has reignited a broader debate about social media morality and public decency, with many calling for greater awareness and sensitivity when it comes to referencing traumatic events — especially those involving real victims and grieving families.
