Jharkhand, May 22 : An 18-year-old man in Sahibganj district of Jharkhand drowned after he jumped into deep water from a height to make an Instagram reel, police said on Tuesday.

The man, Tausif, jumped into a quarry lake from a height of about 100 feet on Monday evening. His friends, who were bathing in the lake, tried to save him but were unsuccessful.

They alerted locals and police, and a search operation was launched. The youth’s body was recovered later.

A video of the incident, which has gone viral on social media, shows the young man jumping into the water while his friend records the dare. However, as soon as he started swimming after falling into the water, he began to drown.

According to Deputy Superintendent of Police Vijay Kumar Kushwaha, after jumping into water several feet deep, the young man could not control himself and drowned.
