A young man's desire to click a selfie with a moving train proved fatal for him in Madhya Pradesh's Indore district.
Jayesh, 18, lost his life late Saturday after being hit by a train while he was posing for a selfie with it at Mangliya village of the district, police said on Sunday.
"Jayesh, along with his two friends -- Ajay and Amit -- went near the railway tracks to click pictures. Jayesh met with the accident while he was posing for the selfie," a police official told IANS.
He was immediately taken to hospital where doctors pronounced him dead, the official added.
Police said both his friend were being interrogated.
