AGRA:Nowadays youth have indulged in craze of selfie even staking their life in danger and the craze took lives of three youth in India.
According to the details the three college friends from News Dehli, Morabdabd and Faridabad attempted to click “eye-catching pictures” to upload them on social networking sites and lost their lives when they were run over by the speeding train.
The accident happened on Monday morning in the railway tracks of Mathura, near Kosikala. The fourth friend, Aneesh, who survived the accident, told police that they were on their way to Agra to see the Taj Mahal on Republic Day and had stopped the car they were travelling in at the railway track to attempt the “daredevil selfie”.
The three friends identified as Yakub, Iqbal and Afzal. All of them were between 20 and 22 and college-goers, the police said.
While Yakub belonged to Moradabad, Iqbal was from Faridabad and Afzal from New Delhi. The Police said they were trying to establish more details related to the young men but were hampered by the fact that their counterparts in the other cities were busy with Republic Day security.
The police were hopeful that the picture would get clearer by Tuesday.
Sanjay Kumar, additional station officer at the Kosi police station in Mathura, said the four friends wanted to take photos of themselves on the rail tracks as close to an oncoming train as possible. They wanted to upload their selfies on social networking sites.
