The signboard in the viral video reads, “NH 931, Munshiganj 06 (left arrow), Amethi 3.5 (right arrow).” The young man can be seen hanging from the iron structure of the signboard, doing pull-ups, while another individual is spotted sitting on top of the pole. The video, originally shared by the Instagram handle Sachin and reposted by the X account @AmethiliveCom, quickly gained traction online, with many expressing shock over the dangerous stunt.

In response, the Amethi Police swiftly took notice of the incident. Their official X handle issued a statement acknowledging the video and confirming that an investigation is underway. The police have assured the public that appropriate legal action will be taken against those involved in the stunt, as per the law.

This incident is a stark reminder of the hazards associated with attempting viral stunts without regard for safety. Authorities are urging young individuals to avoid such dangerous acts that could result in serious injuries or even fatalities.
