Police said Gopal Solanki, who was dancing with his friends and had a knife in his hands, accidentally stabbed himself when he tried to enact a stunt.

The video of the incident shows Gopal heavily inebriated, dancing with his friends around the Holi fire. Later, when trying out some stunts with his knife, he can then be seen stabbing himself four times with his knife.  He then looks down shocked, while his sister screams, trying to hold him. Soaking in blood, he is taken to the hospital, where he is declared dead.

Notably, during Holi, the annual Hindu festival of colors, a drink called thandai, which means “cooling off,” is served in India. Depending on the area, the traditional milky concoction might be laced with hints of edible Indian cannabis called bhang  Bhang is an edible mixture made from the buds, leaves, and flowers of the female cannabis, or marijuana, plant. People do get heavily inebriated during Holi.
