18-year-old hit by train while making Tiktok video

-

PATNA: An 18-year-student died while he was trying to shoot a Tiktok video before a passenger train near Sonepur on Gandak bridge in Vaishali district on Tuesday. Locals said the incident took place around 9 am when Vivek Kumar went for a walk and started shooting a clip with a train. Locals said while shooting, he came very close to the train and it hit his head. He was rushed to a hospital but was declared brought dead. On being informed, a large number of people and GRP officials rushed to the spot and recovered his cell phone. Yes, I knew about it because Narayanago­wda had gone to Mumbai in February. Gopalaiah had betrayed us in the past as well. [AH] Vishwanath speaks as if he is the holiest person, but such people must introspect on the reason for their victory in last year’s elections.

He might question the JD(S) now and claim that the people made him win, but anyway we will know the reality in the by-elections. He had some personal problems… if I reveal these it will bring me disrepute. I don’t know what these problems were. None of them spoke to me personally. I informed the House about the amount of money I granted each of the rebels to develop their constituen­cies. No, I won’t speak ill of the governor, he had pressure from a lot of invisible forces. He works under the central government. He is there to advise the state government, to ensure it doesn’t veer off course. However, when there are political developmen­ts, he works on the basis of the central government’s directions. That’s just the way these institutio­ns have evolved in the country. There is no question of going with any party. The party should grow independen­tly. We have to fight the BJP, so we can’t go with them. Even now Congress and JD(S) MLAS are being enticed to defect, despite the BJP forming the government. This is why I brought it up in the House on Monday. This is a very unstable government, and I don’t feel it will last long. It might collapse any moment.
