Roorkee police acted swiftly, registering an FIR against the youths for spreading obscenity and endangering lives. The authorities are now investigating the group for their reckless actions and their attempt to gain popularity through viral content.

The police have urged people to refrain from engaging in such dangerous acts and emphasized the need for greater responsibility and awareness when it comes to social media. This case also serves as a reminder of the importance of maintaining ethical standards online and the role social media platforms play in promoting or discouraging such reckless behavior.
