A social media influencer from Himachal Pradesh's Shimla was slammed online for making an Instagram reel during a fight. The video, which has now gone viral on social media, was shared by an X user Nikhil Saini, who also requested authorities to take action against "such people" and protect public spots.
In the 21-second video, a group of people can be seen getting into an ugly fight at the Ridge in Shimla, which is a tourist spot and a hub of several cultural acitivities in Himachal's summer capital.
The people can also be seen pulling each other's hair, while the influencer is seen smiling and recording her reel. Meanwhile, the passersby attempt to intervene to stop the fight, but the young woman, instead of helping them, considered the fight as content for her social media account.
"Over the last 2-3 years, Shimla's Ridge has become a hotspot for cringe activities. Reel makers have taken over this place, and daily such nonsense videos are made," Saini said in the caption of his post.
"A viral video on internet shows a girl making a reel during a fight! Instead of stopping it, they use it to make content. Requesting the local administration to place strict laws against such people and protect our public places," he added.
The comment section was flooded with social media users who slammed her for being "insensitive and inhumane". Some also pointed out at that police should be deployed at public places to precent similar incidents from taking place.
"These iconic spots deserves respect and preservation. At least, a homeguard or police personnel should be stationed there to manage and prevent such misuse..Baki Civic sense toh Naa aayegi," an X user commented.
Another X user commented: "This is so insensitive & inhumane. Pathetic. Unfortunately nothing can be done to such people in Law."
"The government has made HP police handicapped to let hooglians create nuisance in the State. Ridge Shimla is just an example, in every tourist destination in HP these people are creating trouble and our CM says they are our guests and treat them softly," an X user wrote.
