The craze for Instagram reels is growing fast in India. It has not only gripped the youth but also many middle-aged people. Some are even going to extreme lengths just to get likes and shares.
One such shocking incident has come to light from Uttar Pradesh’s Kanpur. A video has surfaced on social media where a woman is seen dancing with a gun in her hand. The dance was performed in the middle of a highway, reportedly for an Instagram reel.
The video was shared on the social media platform X, where the user tagged the police and other relevant authorities, demanding strict action against the woman for publicly flaunting a weapon.
In the viral clip, the woman is wearing a green saree with a revealing blouse. She can be seen dancing to a Bhojpuri song on what is claimed to be the Kanpur-Delhi Highway.
The woman has been identified as Shalini. Her Instagram handle is “salinipanday60″. She has over 60,000 followers and more than 2,550 posts on the platform.
After the video went viral, the police took note of the matter. In response to the post, the police confirmed that the video was shot within the Kanpur Nagar district. They said, “It is to be informed in the said matter that the said woman is a resident of Kanpur Nagar, who made this video within the Kanpur Nagar district area. In this regard, the Kanpur Nagar Police have been informed.”

This is not the first time such an incident has happened in Uttar Pradesh. In 2024, YouTuber Simran Yadav was seen dancing with a pistol on a highway in Lucknow. That video also went viral and caught the attention of the police.
