An 11-year-old boy died after a noose was tied around his neck while he was filming a prank video for social media in Madhya Pradesh's Morena district, police said on Sunday.
Divisional police officer Ravi Bhadoria said a video purporting to be of the incident that took place in Amba town on Saturday night has surfaced on social media.
Karan Parmar, a seventh-grader, said he was playing with other children in a vacant lot near his home.
