A video showing an eight-year-old girl jumping into the Ulhas river from a bridge to 'celebrate' revocation of the Article 370 and pay tribute to martyred jawans has gone viral on social media.

The text accompanying the video identified her as Sai Ashish Patil, a resident of Balkum area in Thane city, and claimed that she had set a "record" by jumping 50 feet down from Kasheli Bridge.

Patil, clad in a swimming suit, is seen saying that it was a historic day as the Article 370 of the Constitution (which gave a special status to Jammu and Kashmir) had been "removed".

As a tribute to the soldiers killed in the Pulwama terror attack in February, she was going to jump off the bridge, she said, signing off with "Jai Hind".

The video then shows a child jumping off the bridge into the waters, and then moving towards another swimmer.
