An 18-year-old man tragically drowned on Monday evening after attempting a dangerous jump into a quarry lake to create an Instagram reel. The incident occurred in Sahibganj district, where the young man, identified as Tausif, leapt from a height of approximately 100 feet.
Tausif’s friends, who were bathing in the lake, witnessed the incident and attempted to save him but were unsuccessful. They immediately alerted local residents and the police. A search operation was launched, and Tausif’s body was later recovered.
A video of the incident, which has since gone viral on social media, shows Tausif making the daring jump while a friend recorded the stunt. The video captures the moment he begins to struggle and drown shortly after hitting the water.
Deputy Superintendent of Police Vijay Kumar Kushwaha stated that Tausif was unable to control himself after jumping into the deep water, leading to his tragic death.
