Mumbai, January 18: A viral video has shocked social media, showing a young man risking his life and the lives of others while making a reel. The video shows him riding a motorcycle on a railway bridge over a river, with two other people sitting behind him. One of the pillion riders seems to be a minor in the viral video.
This reckless rider has drawn heavy criticism online. By riding on the railway bridge, he not only endangered his life but also the live of the two passengers with him. If a train had approached during the stunt, it could have caused a major accident. After the video went viral, angry internet users criticised the biker and demanded strict action against the accused.
Dangerous Stunt for Fame
The video was first posted on Instagram by a user named @ll_ravi_thakur_ll76. He captioned it as a scene from a small village in Jharkhand called "Baglata Bridge." The reel quickly went viral on social media, getting over 1 million views and over 28,000 likes.
However, most comments on the post criticised his dangerous actions. Some users mocked him, saying he was in "Mountain Dew mode," while others called for his immediate arrest. One user questioned whether the Railway Protection Force (RPF) or the police would take action against him. Another user sarcastically asked if they stay near the bridge only.
Repeated Violations
The man’s reckless behaviour didn’t stop there. In another video shared by @JharkhandRail on platform X, he was seen again riding a bike on the railway tracks. The handle accused him of repeatedly putting passengers' lives in danger and called for his arrest. They also tagged railway authorities and shared a screenshot of his Instagram profile in another post.
Punishment For Obstructing Railway Track
Riding a bike on railway tracks is a serious crime under the law. Sitting on or obstructing railway tracks can result in up to two years of imprisonment, a fine of ₹2,000, or both. If such actions disrupt train operations, the offender could face life imprisonment or up to 10 years in jail along with a fine.
Strict Punishment Demanded
The public has strongly condemned the man's actions. Many people are calling for strict punishment to prevent others from attempting similar stunts. Social media users have stressed the need to enforce laws more strictly to ensure public safety and deter dangerous behaviour.
This incident highlights how far some individuals are willing to go for social media fame, often ignoring the risks to themselves and others.
