A man in Jhansi, Uttar Pradesh, fractures both legs after jumping about 30 feet into the Pahuj Dam while attempting a stunt for a social media reel. He suffers serious injuries from the fall, including fractures in both legs, after hitting rocks in or near the dam’s shallow area.
Accounts describe the injury as resulting from misjudging the water level. An outlet reports the man believes the water was deeper below the jump, while another emphasizes that the presence of rocks and shallow water contribute to the impact. After the incident, people at the dam rush him to a private hospital for immediate treatment.
Police involvement is reported after a video of the stunt circulates online. Sources also note that an inquiry is initiated to understand how the incident occurred and to review circumstances around the viral video. The overall details align on the location, height of the jump, the dam setting, and the outcome: fractures to both legs.
