A 22-year-old man, Mohd Faizan, was killed on Friday after a heavy concrete slab collapsed on him while shooting a social media reel near an under-construction flyover in Uttar Pradesh’s Bareilly. According to reports, Faizan, a barber by profession and a resident of Richhola Kifayatullah village, had gone to the construction site with his friend Anuj Gangwar around 4.30 pm.
While Anuj was recording the video, Faizan climbed onto a high support wall at the edge of the bridge to pose and dance. He allegedly lost his balance and fell into a field below, following which a heavy concrete slab collapsed on him, and he died on the spot.
