The man, Yashwant Nagar, was filming with a country-made pistol near a shop when the gun accidentally discharged. He was rushed to the hospital, where doctors declared him dead on arrival. In April, a similar incident occurred in Uttar Pradesh, where a 21-year-old man attempting to create a viral Instagram reel went wrong. He hung upside down from a flagpole on a school roof while his friends recorded the stunt.
