Public anger poured in as citizens and officials aired their pain and condemned the act. One user cried, “Hai Bhagwan, is duniya mein maanavta bachi hai ki nahin? Ye video dil ko cheer kar rakh diya. Ek baap kabhi marte dam tak ye nahi kar sakta.” expressing sorrow. 

Another person wrote, “OMG! 😦 This is so heartbreaking”, showing disbelief and deep pain. A comment noted, “Aise maamlo mein sirf dukh... karna hi nahi, balki saamajik jaagrukta aur zimmedaari bhi zaroori hai, taaki... bhi bachcha bhavishya mein aisi... paristhiti ka shikaar na bane”, reflecting how to take necessary actions in such a situation. 

These reactions underline how the viral video ignited national outrage and global sympathy immediately. Officials promised investigations to find the father, ensure justice, and protect other children from harm. 

The viral video forced society to face unsettling truths about child neglect and duty. Now, people must act with empathy and responsibility to prevent future tragedies on public roads.
