Unnao Viral Video: In recent years, we’ve seen how far people are willing to go for a reel, risking their safety, dignity, and even lives all for a few likes, comments, and a shot at going viral. For some, creating content has become more than a hobby it’s their whole identity. But sometimes, the chase for internet fame takes a wild, dangerous turn.
One such jaw-dropping video is currently circulating on social media, featuring a man from Unnao, Uttar Pradesh, who has taken the madness of making reels to an extreme level. Ranjit Chaurasia, now humorously dubbed ‘Reelputra’ by the internet, pulled off an act so bizarre, it left users stunned. He actually lay down flat on a railway track and let an entire train pass over him all while recording the scene to create a reel.
The viral video hasn’t earned him just fame it’s also landed him behind bars. According to reports, once the clip caught traction online, authorities swiftly took action. Ranjit was arrested and is now cooling his heels in jail in Unnao.
