A Reel Gone Wrong
Farmaan’s ill-fated reel began innocently enough. He was seen on camera, walking nonchalantly along the railway tracks, with a friend purportedly filming the reckless act for mere fun and social media craze. Little did they know that their lives would take a devastating turn within seconds.
As Farmaan ventured too close to the tracks, a speeding train came hurtling towards him, hitting him in a fraction of a second. The impact sent him flying through the air, resulting in a tragic and fatal outcome. The video also captured the shock and helplessness of another person, likely Farmaan’s friend, who witnessed the gruesome mishap.
The Heartbreaking Details
Farmaan, a 14-year-old, was the son of Munna, a resident of Tera Daulatpur in Jahangirabad, Uttar Pradesh. On that fateful day, Farmaan was accompanied by his friends, Shuaib, Nadir, and Sameer, as they were heading to witness a nearby procession.
However, Farmaan made the fateful decision to abandon the procession in favor of standing by the railway tracks near the railway crossing adjacent to the Damedarpur village. His sole purpose was to capture attention-grabbing reels, an act that ultimately led to this devastating accident.
