Reel stunt gone wrong: Man dies after fall and slab collapse
31 Jan
Summary
- A 22-year-old man died attempting to film a social media reel.
- He fell from a wall and was crushed by a concrete slab.
- The incident occurred near an under-construction flyover in Bareilly.
A young man's pursuit of social media fame ended in tragedy on Friday when Mohd Faizan, aged 22, died near an under-construction flyover in Bareilly. Faizan, who worked as a barber, was at the site with a friend intending to record a reel.
While attempting to pose on a high support wall, Faizan reportedly lost his balance and fell to the ground below. Tragically, a large concrete slab then collapsed onto him. Rescue efforts were immediately initiated by bystanders and construction workers, but the slab's immense weight complicated the operation.
It took nearly half an hour to remove the debris using an earth-moving machine. Sadly, by the time Faizan was freed, he had already succumbed to his injuries. The incident occurred around 4:30 pm. Police are investigating the circumstances surrounding the fatal accident.
