Kota, Jul 7 (PTI) A 19-year-old youth died after he fell from a height of about 100 feet while making a reel on his mobile phone at a popular tourist spot here, a police officer said on Monday.
The deceased, Arjun Kahar, was a Class 12 student and a resident of Kaithun area.
According to RK Puram Circle Inspector Mahendra Maru, Arjun had gone with six to seven friends to the Gapernath picnic spot near Rajasthan’s Kota city on Sunday afternoon.
Since the original route to Gapernath was closed in view of the rains, the youths chose an alternative route through a hilly jungle on their way back in the evening.
Arjun was making a reel while climbing down the hill, when he slipped and fell head first onto the rocks beneath, sustaining critical injuries.
His friends rushed him to the New Medical College Hospital in RK Puram, but the youth succumbed to his injuries on the way, CI Maru said.
The body was handed over to family members after post-mortem on Monday morning.
A case has been registered under Section 194 of Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, the CI said. PTI COR RUK RUK
