A tragic incident occurred in Siddharthnagar district, Uttar Pradesh, India, when a group of five teenagers climbed a 50-60-foot high overhead water tank to film a social media reel. The attempt turned disastrous when a rusted iron ladder collapsed, causing three of them to fall. Siddharth, a 13-year-old, died from severe head injuries, while Pawan (13) and Golu were critically injured. The Indian Air Force (IAF) was called in to rescue Shani (11) and Kallu (14), who were stranded on top of the tank. The rescue operation, which took place around 5:30 AM, successfully airlifted the boys to safety. Local officials noted that the water tank had been in poor condition for an extended period, raising concerns about safety and the increasing trend of risky social media stunts among youth. The state government, led by Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath, has initiated a relief operation in response to the incident.
