Interestingly, the blue drum has become a topic of memes and discussions, partly due to its association with a tragic incident in Meerut.
Notably, in Meerut, a wife, along with her boyfriend, killed her husband, dismembered his body, and filled the pieces in a blue drum.
The viral video of gifting a blue drum at a wedding, while intended as humor, has sparked mixed reactions. Many find it inappropriate to associate such a joyous occasion with a horrific crime, as it trivializes the gravity of the incident.
