New Delhi: A 15-year-old boy, was killed after being hit by a train in Odisha's Puri, while filming a reel. The tragic incident took place at the Janakdevpur railway station on Tuesday. Vishwajeet Sahu, a resident of Mangalaghat, visited the Dakshinkali temple with his mother.
On the way back home, he stopped near the railway tracks to record a short video for social media.
While examining the footages, the police discovered that the minor was recording himself as a train approached from the other end. The wind from the train toppled the phone to the ground. Odisha Railway Police (GRP) rushed to the scene, recovered the body, and sent it for the post-mortem.
A few months ago, a 22-year-old YouTuber from Berhampur, Ganjam district, went missing after being swept away while filming reels at the Duduma waterfall in Koraput, Odisha. Sagar Tudu was visiting the area with his friend Abhijit Behera to record videos of local tourist spots for his YouTube channel using a drone camera.
The accident occurred when authorities at Machakunda Dam released water following heavy rainfall in the Lamtaput area, causing a sudden surge at the waterfall. Sagar, standing on a rock, lost his balance and was carried away by the strong water flow.
Even as the tourists and locals attempted to help the victim, all of that went in vain. Machakunda police and Fire Brigade teams launched a search operation but could not locate him.
