What's in The Video?

In the viral footage, the woman, clad in light green attire, is seen picking up bricks from the roadside and flinging them at random vehicles. Several cars suffered broken windshields, with one driver narrowly escaping injury as a brick struck the corner of his windshield. Fortunately, no serious injuries were reported.

The visuals sparked concern online, with many questioning public safety and the availability of mental health support in public spaces. Responding swiftly, the Uttar Pradesh Police took cognisance of the matter and directed Amroha Police to take appropriate action.

Second Incident in Just Weeks

This isn’t the first such case to go viral from Uttar Pradesh. Just last month, a woman sparked similar chaos on a busy Lucknow road, outside Lohia Hospital in the Vibhuti Khand area.

In the video, the woman could be seen sitting in the middle of the road, swinging her arms, twirling her head, and folding her hands in what appeared to be a trance-like state. A small crowd gathered, watching as she continued her strange behavior. A bystander recorded the entire episode on his phone, which later flooded WhatsApp groups and social platforms.

A Mental Health Wake-Up Call?

While both women involved are believed to be mentally unstable, these incidents have reignited discussions around the lack of mental health intervention and public safety infrastructure in Indian cities. Critics say there’s a growing need for responsive urban policies that address both health crises and street safety.
