Mumbai: Ghatkopar man’s stunt video goes viral, alerts cops

The railway police are looking for a 21-year-old Ghatkopar resident for making a video of him sitting dangerously close to railway tracks. The clip has gone viral on social media. The youth went into hiding after learning that cops wanted to question him.


In the video, shot in low light, the man appears to be holding a gun and is sitting on the edge of tracks. As a local train passes in behind him, he pulls out the gun and pretends to shoot himself. He also seems to be crying during the act.


The video is accompanied by the text: “When my mood off, I want break time, So leave me alone.”


The Andheri branch of the Government Railway Police has identified the teenager as Armaan Khurshid Shaikh, a resident of Ram Rahim Colony of Ghatkopar West. Cops said Shaikh is known for making dramatic videos. 

A GRP officer said, “Information is being collected about when and where this video was made though it was shared on social media only recently. This video is said to be from Andheri.” GRP senior inspector Dattatray Nikam told mid-day, “I had sent a team to his house but he was not there.”
