Boy taking selfie gets run over by train

Dinesh Kumar, a Class XI student, was walking along the railway track with a friend at suburban Vandalur on Sunday evening when the incident happened, police said today. He tried to click a picture of himself with the speeding suburban train behind him when it ran over him, killing the teenager on the spot, they added. 

The victim’s body was sent for post-mortem and further probe was on. The incident comes close on the heels of a man and a girl drowning in Arabian Sea in Mumbai recently. The man had perished trying to save the girl who fell into the sea while attempting a selfie.
