A 15-year-old boy, filming a reel on a railway track in Odisha's Puri, was killed after being hit by a train.

As the craze for making reels has taken over everyone, a 15-year-old boy died after being hit by a train while he was filming a reel on a railway track in Odisha’s Puri.

The incident occurred at the Janakdevpur railway station on Tuesday. The boy, identified as Vishwajeet Sahu, a resident of Mangalaghat, visited the Dakshinkali temple with his mother.

On the way back home, he stopped near the railway tracks to record a short video for social media, reported NDTV.

The video showed Sahu recording himself as a train approached from the other end.

Following the incident, the Odisha Railway Police (GRP) rushed to the scene and recovered the body.

In a similar incident in August, a 22-year-old YouTuber from Berhampur, Ganjam district, went missing after being swept away while filming reels at the Duduma waterfall in Koraput, Odisha.

Attempts by tourists and locals to rescue him failed. Machakunda police and Fire Brigade teams launched a search operation but could not locate him.
