    Hyderabad: In a tragic incident, a Hyderabad boy lost his life while attempting to shoot a video for an Instagram reel. The boy, identified as Mohammad Sarfaraz, was a 16-year-old class 9 student who was hit by a train on railway tracks in Sanath Nagar on Friday. The incident occurred while Sarfaraz and his two friends were attempting to shoot a video for an Instagram reel, with a speeding train in the background.

    Sarfaraz had his back towards the approaching train and was standing dangerously close to the railway track. While his friends moved away to save themselves, Sarfaraz was hit by the train and died.

    The boy’s father said that he had left the house for Friday prayers and a couple of hours later, two of his classmates, Muzammil and Sohail, came to the house and informed him that he fell unconscious. When he reached the spot, he saw his son lying dead. The railway police have since recovered a mobile phone from the spot and have registered a case, taking up further investigation.

    In a similar selfie craze incident that took place in 2021, three teenage girls of a family in Telangana’s Nirmal district lost their lives.

    The girls were drowned in an irrigation tank while trying to take selfies. The tragic incident occurred at Singangaon village of Thanoor Mandal.

    The deceased were identified as Elime Suneetha (16), her sister Vaishali (14) and their cousin Anjali (14).

    Police said the trio accidentally fell into the lake and drowned while trying to take selfies for uploading them on social media platforms.

    These incidents are a stark reminder of the risks associated with attempting dangerous stunts for social media.

    Amritsar: Members of the Kisan Mazdoor Sangharsh Committee on Sunday squatted on railway tracks in Punjab to demand a legal guarantee on MSP and withdrawal of cases registered against farmers during the farm laws stir, among other things.

    The blockade from 1 pm to 4 pm disrupted the movement of trains on several routes including Amritsar-Delhi, Amritsar-Khemkaran and on the Jalandhar-Jammu rail section, according to official sources.

    In Amritsar district, hundreds of agitating farmers led by Kisan Mazdoor Sangharsh Committee (KMSC) leader Sarwan Singh Pandher squatted on the Amritsar-New Delhi railway track in Jandiala town, nearly 25 km from Amritsar.

    Pandher said the farmers blocked railway tracks from 1 pm to 4 pm at 13 places in 11 districts of Punjab.

    The protesters also blocked railway tracks on Amritsar-Delhi, Amritsar-Khemkaran, and Amritsar-Pathankot routes besides those in Gurdaspur, Tarn Taran, Ferozepur, Fazilka, Moga, Muktsar, Mansa, Jalandhar, Hoshiarpur and Ludhiana districts.

    In Hoshiarpur, the blockade was on the Jalandhar-Jammu rail section at the Tanda railway station.

    According to the official sources, train no. 12920 Malwa Superfast Express and Superfast Jammu-Mumbai train were stranded at Dasuya and Bhangala railway stations respectively due to the rail blockade.

    The protesters are also seeking stringent action against those who had allegedly attacked a group of farmers during the agitation against the now-repealed farm laws at Delhi’s Singhu border in January 2021.
