IIT Dhanbad Diwali Video: A video of IIT Dhanbad students celebrating Diwali has gone viral where they could be seen doing a risky stunt with firecracker. The students lit a firecracker and placed a plastic drum over it. They were then seen sprinting away from the firecracker covered with the dustbin. While the video received mixed reactions across the social media platforms, it was viewed by 112 million users and liked by over 6 million. 

The explosion sent the drum flying as high as the four-story boys hostel building. There were no casualties and the students could be seen laughing and clapping after the explosion. The video immediately caught the attention of the netizens as soon as it was uploaded. While few applauded the students for their creativity, others criticised them for being irresponsible and urged the college administration to take action against them.
