Netizens' reaction to the post

A user of X platform named Anil Vidyarthi wrote in Hindi, Until India's population becomes educated, such individuals will continue to be lost to untimely deaths. While most people know how to read, write, and sign their names, the fact remains that a large portion of the population is still not educated.

जब तक भारत की आबादी शिक्षित नहीं होगी तब तक ऐसे ही लोग काल के गाल में समाते रहेंगे बाकी पढ़ना, लिखना व अपना हस्ताक्षर करना तो सब जानते हैं कुछ लोगों को छोड़कर लेकिन आज भी ज्यादातर लोग शिक्षित नहीं हैं।

Another user of X platform named Aman Gupta wrote, this is not madness, they do this knowingly. In the name of getting likes, they are killing not themselves but their families. Such people would be a disaster for their parents. Such people do not think anything. There should not be any kind of feeling or mercy for such people.
