A social media stunt nearly resulted in tragedy for a Nepalese teenager in Maharashtra's Ahilyanagar district. The young man was filming a short video of a staged suicide when the situation spiraled out of control.
The 17-year-old attempted to mimic hanging by tying a piece of cloth to a tree and placing a noose around his neck. However, things took a dangerous turn when the noose inadvertently tightened, causing severe injuries.
His friend, who was present at the scene, acted swiftly to remove the noose and brought him to a private hospital in Jamkhed. Local police have since recorded the friend's statement and continue to probe the incident.
