Assam: Youth Jailed in Lala for Risky Train Stunt to Go Viral

A CORRESPONDENT

SILCHAR: An attempt to go viral on social media landed a youth in jail in Lala. Hailakandi Police arrested the youth, identified as Papul Ahmed Barbhuiyan, 27, for performing a dangerous and risky stunt as he was seen lying on a railway track while a running train passed over him. Though fortunately, Papul was safe as the running train did not touch him, but a little miscalculation could have turned the stunt fatal.

Papul’s act, as he desperately wished, attracted huge views on the social media platform. But the state police were not at all amused. Hailakandi Police, while sharing the news of the arrest on its social media handle, stated, “It is reiterated that such dangerous stunts/acts posted on social media can invite legal actions against you since such acts endanger human lives and mislead viewers, especially the young ones.”
