“What’s happening to our youth? Risking life and limb for a few likes and views on social media!” Jiyori stated in the post.

She called the act “reckless.”

“This shocking stunt by a young man on the Dr. Bhupen Hazarika Setu (Dhola-Sadiya Bridge)—India’s longest river bridge—is not bravery; it’s sheer recklessness,” she said.

She tagged Assam Police, Tinsukia Police, and Sadiya Police in the post.
