3 boys crushed under train while taking selfies
Three boys from Bengaluru were taking a selfie with a moving train were run over on Tuesday morning in Bidadi in India around 30 km away.
The teens were reportedly completely oblivious to how close they were to the oncoming train as they kept taking photos standing on the tracks. Their bodies were mangled beyond recognition.
The police told NDTV that the boys died between 9:30 and 10 am.
Last week, a selfie by a group of students from a Bengaluru college showed one of them drowning in the background in a large pond on the outskirts of the IT hub. But no one in the group realised it at the time.
On September 26, 17-year-old Vishwas G, was part of a group of 25 cadets from the National College in Bengaluru who entered a 10-feet-deep pond in the Ramanagram district.
After taking a selfie, the group left the pond to visit a temple without noticing that Vishwas was missing. Later, a student scrolling through the photos they had taken earlier spotted Vishwas’ head disappearing under water.
The students contacted the local Kagalipura police who reached the spot and then discovered Vishwas’ body in the pond.
