A man from Uttar Pradesh narrowly escaped death after slipping from a moving train while performing a dangerous stunt for an Instagram reel. The incident occurred on the Kasganj-Kanpur train.
The video of the incident, shared by a Reddit user, went viral on social media.
Originally posted on the Reddit account ‘r/indianrailways,’ the video has drawn massive condemnation from social media users. Many criticised the man’s reckless behaviour and warned against such life-threatening stunts.
In the video, the man is seen dangerously hanging from a train window, clinging to the edge as the train moves. Unfortunately, moments later, he lost his balance and fell onto the tracks as the train abruptly stopped.
However, he managed to stand up and reboarded the train, escaping what could have been a fatal accident.
As the video gained traction on X, the Uttar Pradesh Police took note of the incident and urged authorities to take action.
