A 27-year-old woman named Mohini died in a tragic accident while filming an Instagram reel at her home in Banda district, Uttar Pradesh, on Friday, February 6, 2026.
She was attempting to film a dramatic scene for a social media post, which tragically resulted in her death. Reports indicate that she was using a noose tied to a ceiling hook as part of the stunt.
During the filming, there was an accident where the noose tightened around her neck. She was found by her four-year-old daughter, who alerted others.
While the death was initially considered a potential suicide, police investigation of her mobile phone revealed that she was recording a video at the time, leading authorities to conclude the death was an accident.
Local authorities have since issued safety advisories, urging social media users to avoid attempting risky or self-harm-mimicking stunts for digital content
