A video of a woman reading a book titled How to Kill Men while travelling on a metro train has gone viral on social media, sparking curiosity and online debate.
The clip has garnered nearly 19 million views and over 4 lakh likes. The book’s eye-catching title drew widespread attention, with many users reacting with humour, while others linked it to recent high-profile cases. However, there is no evidence connecting the video to any real-life incident.
The video only shows the book’s cover, and it is not clear whether the woman was reading the book or simply holding it. There is also no information about when the video was recorded or which city’s metro it was filmed in. The authenticity of the clip has not been independently verified.
Many social media users pointed out that books often have provocative titles to attract readers and that such titles should not be taken literally.
The book is believed to be How to Kill Men and Get Away With It by author Katy Brent. It is a fictional novel that combines psychological thriller, dark comedy and crime fiction. Despite its title, the book is not a real-life guide but a work of fiction that became popular for its unusual name and suspenseful storyline.
