A troubling video has spread on social media, showing three boys hanging by nooses during a school event. In the video, the boys are on stage, wearing prisoner outfits with black cloths covering their heads, hanging from a wooden log. This act seems to be part of a Republic Day program at the school. However, NDTV has not been able to confirm if the video is real.

The video has raised serious concerns about the safety of the children involved. A user who shared the clip on X 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 cognisance of it."

Debate and calls for action

The video has sparked heated discussions on social media, with many users calling for action against those responsible. "This incident must be investigated; where is the video from? Such action must be taken that no one dares to organise such programs again," wrote one user. Another person commented, "Where is this from, brother? After watching such videos, children today copy them very quickly. If any accident happens, then who will be responsible for it?"

Some users have called for strict actions against the school and its authorities. "Govt and Police Take strict action against this school and program... very bad scenario," said one. A few users also expressed anger at the organisers, calling them "demons" for endangering the children's lives in the name of teaching "patriotism." One user said, "It would have been better if these people had tried this on themselves! They should be punished!"

The video has gained more than 1.4 million views on X and surfaced just after India’s 76th Republic Day. As the incident continues to shock many, there are calls for a thorough investigation and consequences for those responsible.
