The teens were reportedly completely oblivious to how close they were to the oncoming train as they kept taking photos standing on the tracks.

This is the second case in weeks of lives lost because of a selfie obsession.

Last week, a selfie taken 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.

17-year-old Vishwas G was part of a group of 25 cadets from the tiol College in Bengaluru who entered a 10 feet deep pond in the Ramagram district on September 24.

After taking the 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 then contacted the police who discovered the student's body in the pond.
