Taking to the comment section, people shared their take. “Until the population of India becomes educated, such people will continue to die. Everyone knows how to read, write, and sign their name, except a few, but even today most people are not educated,” commented a user. “You should immediately close the reel app,” added a second person.

“It is very good, do it like this, kill everyone in the pursuit of reel. The people that will remain will be the working population which will live with some brains in their head and will be educated and productive. At least they will be indulging in education and less on reels,” added another. “There is no dearth of fools in this country,” added another.
