A recent viral video of a man performing dangerous stunts on the narrow ledge of a high-rise building, has come under the radar of the authorities. The police are searching for the man and the two associates who recorded the act on their mobile cameras.

The viral video shows a young man sipping an energy drink, sitting on the boundary wall of the 22nd floor of the building and then jumps on the ledge, hardly two feet in width, and performs a handstand as his associates film the stunt. The local police launched an investigation after coming across the video on social media. The police have also identified the three men who are currently missing.

Thousands of people die every year while attempting to take selfies, videos, pictures on risk-prone places to attain instant fame on social media. In 2018, a man was hit by a train in Hyderabad as he was trying to take a selfie right next to railway tracks.

In such a situation, any vulnerable video or pictures that instigate people to perform or try to do such risky stunts that might end up losing lives should be considered as a serious offense and the person should be slammed with strict punishment.
