In a tragic incident in Chennai, a 16-year-old boy was severely injured while attempting to film an instagram reel on top of an electric train. The young boy, who was engaging in a dangerous stunt by dancing atop the moving train, accidentally came into contact with an overhead electric pole, resulting in a life-threatening injury.

The boy had reportedly climbed onto the train with friends to create social media content, a growing trend among youngsters to gain attention and followers online. Unfortunately, he misjudged the proximity of the electric infrastructure, and while performing stunts for the reel, he collided with a high-voltage electric pole. The impact was severe, leaving him critically injured and in need of urgent medical attention.

Bystanders and authorities rushed him to the hospital, where he is currently fighting for his life in critical condition. This incident highlights the increasing risks associated with the pursuit of viral fame on social media platforms like Instagram.

Authorities have once again issued warnings against engaging in dangerous stunts for social media content, urging young people to prioritize their safety over the desire for likes and views. This tragic event underscores the potential life-altering consequences of such risky behaviors.
