Mumbai teenager who gained fame for train stunts loses limbs in subsequent incident
Mumbai: A young commuter who went viral for a risky stunt at Sewri Station lost an arm and a leg while attempting a similar stunt a month later. The video, which went viral on July 14, showed him running and sliding along a moving train. He managed to grab the door but did not board the train until it was almost leaving the station.
The Railway Protection Force (RPF) viewed the video and traced the individual, Farhat Sheikh, to his residence in Antop Hill, Wadala. There they discovered that he had lost his limbs in another stunt attempt.
Sheikh admitted to performing the first stunt at Sewri Station on March 7 and said he had asked a friend to record it so he could share it on social media for likes. An attempt at a similar stunt at Masjid Station on April 14 resulted in serious injuries. Railway authorities took him to St. George's Hospital, but he eventually lost an arm and a leg.
Central Railway posted a video on social media platform X, which shows the youngster sharing his tragedy with the authorities. Central Railway wrote on X while sharing the video, "Central Railway has identified the stunt performer from this viral video, who later lost an arm and leg during another stunt. @RPFCRBB swiftly took action to ensure safety.
