14-Year-Old Farman Fatally Struck by Train While Creating Instagram Reels


A tragic incident occurred in Uttar Pradesh’s Barabanki district, claiming the life of 14-year-old Farmaan. Engrossed in creating reels on his phone, he met with a devastating end as a speeding train struck him while he stood on the tracks. The heart-wrenching visuals of this accident have now surfaced on social media, sparking conversations among netizens.

The distressing footage captured Farmaan’s final moments, showing him on the railway tracks before the train’s swift impact took his life in an instant. His pursuit of a social media moment cost him dearly. The force of the collision sent him airborne before he was tragically run over by the train in a fraction of a second. The video also briefly reveals Farmaan’s friend, likely the one recording the harrowing incident.

Following the accident, locals rushed Farmaan to the hospital, but he was declared ‘brought dead’ by the doctors. His body was subsequently sent for a postmortem examination under the supervision of GRP SHO Dharmendra Singh.

Farmaan, the victim, was the son of Munna from Tera Daulatpur in Jahangirabad, Uttar Pradesh. At the time of the mishap, he was in the company of four friends (Shuaib, Nadir, and Sameer), all on their way to witness a nearby procession.
