In Jharkhand, India, a young YouTuber set fire to a Rs 1
million studio set up inside his home, suffering from severe mental stress due
to the lack of followers on his YouTube channel.
According to reports, 27-year-old Vidhyak Prajapati worked
from home as a film editor and digital media producer. He sold his land and set
up a modern studio and hoped to gain popularity on YouTube through hard work.
However, despite months of hard work, he suffered from severe mental stress due
to not gaining the desired number of followers.
According to the details of the accident, at around 10 pm on
Saturday night, Vidhyak locked himself inside the studio and set it on fire.
Within a few moments, smoke spread throughout the house and the family was
trapped inside due to the closed iron door. On information from neighbors, the
police broke the wall and entered the house and brought the family out safely.
All the computers, cameras, sound systems and lighting
equipment in the studio were completely burnt. After setting the fire, Vidhyak
saved his life by jumping backwards and was later admitted to a hospital in
Ranchi for psychiatric treatment. Currently, the family is facing financial
difficulties and an appeal has been made to the local administration for help.
According to experts, the incident highlights the dangers of social media and digital platform pressure among young people, where the race for success can sometimes be detrimental to mental health.
