TikTok has claimed another life in India as a young man was killed while recording a video on the railway tracks. Vikas died on the spot after he was electrocuted by the tracks.
According to reports, the incident took place in Haryana. The 25-year-old was making a video with his friends at 4 am when he climbed up the electrical pole for a better shot. He continued to climb higher and accidentally touched one of the high voltage wires overhead. He was the only casualty in the incident.
When he died, his friends ran away. The body was there on the wire for almost two hours. Some passersby saw the body and informed the police.
Government Railway Police (GRP) shut off the power and took down the body. The deceased was sent to a hospital.
Meanwhile, the police have seized his mobile phone for investigation. They suspect that Vikas and his friends had been drunk when they attempted to make the TikTok video that sadly took his life.
Vikas lived alone with his mother. His elder brother is currently serving a prison sentence while his father has passed away.
TikTok related deaths are not uncommon in the sub-continent. Recently a teenager in Sialkot accidentally shot himself while making a TikTok video.
