The Twitter video quickly garnered attention on the social media platform, receiving over 44,600 likes and 8,830 retweets as of this writing. 
“Lively and adorable team effort,” Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi wrote in response to the clip.

If this happened on campus, Stanford should issue a clear public update and specific safety actions.

Agree. People need facts and process, not silence. The school should confirm what is being investigated.

Also important to separate verified details from rumors so this does not spiral online.

The death threat part is extremely serious. Hoping law enforcement and campus security are already involved.
