Woman, Brother-in-Law Release LPG in Room to Make Reel, Destroy 8 Flats in Fire in MP
In a bizarre and dangerous stunt, a woman and her brother-in-law in Gwalior, Madhya Pradesh, released LPG gas in a room to make an Instagram Reel, but their attempt ended in a massive fire that destroyed eight flats. The incident has left the authorities and residents shocked, and the duo has been booked by the police.
According to reports, the woman, who has not been named, deliberately released gas from an LPG cylinder in a room for several minutes before her brother-in-law switched on the light to improve visibility for filming. However, the mixture of gas and oxygen sparked an explosion, which quickly spread to the adjacent flats, leading to a massive fire.
The fire broke out at around 9:30 pm on Tuesday, and it took firefighters several hours to bring it under control. Eight flats were completely destroyed in the blaze, and several others were damaged. Miraculously, no casualties were reported, but the incident has left many residents of the complex shaken.
The police have filed a case against the woman and her brother-in-law under sections 279 (rash driving or riding) and 336 (act endangering life or personal safety of others) of the Indian Penal Code (IPC). They have also been charged under the Explosive Substances Act.
The incident has raised serious concerns about the dangers of social media stunts and the lack of awareness about safety precautions. It is not the first time that a social media stunt has gone wrong, and it is a stark reminder of the importance of prioritizing safety over online fame.
The woman and her brother-in-law had planned the stunt to create a dramatic effect for their Instagram Reel. They had allegedly filled the room with LPG gas, which is highly flammable, and then switched on the light to capture the explosion on camera. However, they failed to consider the potential consequences of their actions, which led to a devastating fire that destroyed several flats.
The authorities have launched an investigation into the incident and have promised to take strict action against the duo. The police have also appealed to social media users to avoid such dangerous stunts and to prioritize their safety and the safety of others.
The incident has also raised questions about the role of social media platforms in promoting harmful content. While social media can be a powerful tool for self-expression and creativity, it can also be used to promote dangerous and harmful behavior. In this case, the woman and her brother-in-law used social media to promote their dangerous stunt, which had devastating consequences.
As the investigation into the incident continues, it is clear that there are serious lessons to be learned about the dangers of social media stunts and the importance of prioritizing safety over online fame. It is up to social media users, content creators, and platforms to promote responsible and safe content, and to discourage dangerous and harmful behavior.
