In a shocking incident driven by the pursuit of internet fame, a man in Jaipur, Rajasthan, narrowly avoided tragedy after driving his Mahindra Thar SUV onto railway tracks as part of a dangerous social media stunt. The intoxicated man, hoping to capture a viral moment, disregarded the potential dangers of his actions.
The situation turned life-threatening when the man realized a goods train was fast approaching. In a desperate attempt to escape, he tried to drive his vehicle off the tracks, but his SUV got stuck, leaving him in peril. Thanks to the loco pilot’s quick thinking, the train came to a screeching halt just in time, narrowly avoiding a head-on collision. Remarkably, no one was injured during the incident.
Viral footage of the incident shows the man attempting to move his SUV with the help of bystanders and police officers. Authorities confirmed that the man was intoxicated at the time. However, his reckless behavior didn’t stop there—he also allegedly struck three people while attempting to flee the scene. The police later apprehended him and seized the SUV.
Disturbing Incident in Udaipur: Thai Tourist Shot After Resisting Molestation Attempt
In a separate and disturbing incident, Thank Chanok, a 24-year-old Thai tourist, was shot by four men in Udaipur after she resisted a molestation attempt. The attack occurred early on a Saturday morning when Chanok, who was staying with a female friend, was lured to another hotel under the guise of a liquor party.
According to Superintendent of Police (SP) Yogesh Goyal, Rahul Gurjar, one of the four men, attempted to molest Chanok. When she fought back by biting him, Gurjar allegedly retaliated by shooting her with a country-made pistol, injuring her near her ribs. In panic, the men rushed Chanok to a private hospital, where they abandoned her before fleeing the scene.
Chanok, now recovering at Udaipur District Hospital, is reported to be out of danger. The four men—Rahul Gurjar (25), Akshay Khubchandani (25), Dhruv Suhalka (21), and Mahim Chaudhary (20)—were arrested by local authorities.
The Dangers of Reckless Behavior and Violence Against Women
These incidents underscore the dangers of reckless behavior fueled by the desire for online fame, as well as the ongoing threat of violence against women. While social media can be a powerful tool for connection and expression, it’s vital to remember that actions in the real world have serious consequences. Safety should always be the top priority, and we must work to address the increasing instances of online stunts and violence.
