Jhansi man fractures both legs during social media stunt

A 32-year-old man, identified as Pushpendra Kumar Manouria, sustained serious injuries after attempting a social media stunt at Pahuj Dam in Jhansi, Uttar Pradesh. While filming an Instagram reel with friends on a Sunday evening, Kumar jumped from a viewpoint boundary wall approximately 30 feet high.

Kumar intended to perform a backflip into the water, but he landed in a shallow area and struck a rocky surface. The impact resulted in fractures to both of his legs. Following the accident, Kumar struggled to exit the water before being assisted by others and local police. He was transported to a private hospital, where doctors performed surgery on one of his legs, involving the insertion of two rods to treat the fractures.
