A young man who stood before a running train to capture a selfie video was hit by an oncoming train and sustained serious injuries in the accident.
The man, identified as Siva, was trying to shoot a video in front of a moving MMTS train near the Bharatnagar station.
Standing on the tracks, Siva failed to notice a fast-approaching train moving on the tracks that he was standing on, engrossed as he was in shooting the video. By the time he realized the danger he was in it was too late and he was hit by the train.
Siva is currently recuperating at the Railway hospital to which he was admitted upon meeting with the accident.
SCR Superintendent Of Police Ashok K said that though the victim was badly injured on his head and hands, he was mostly out of danger.
