Chennai, August 16, 2016: A student studying in class 12th died unfortunately while allegedly taking a selfie on Monday.

 

Harish, a student residing at Peelamedu near Coimbatore, went along with his friends on a sightseeing trip to enjoy nature on Independence Day.

He noticed a huge well dug in a field, which was nearly 120 feet deep. Harsh wanted to take a selfie while standing on the protective wall.

As he leaned inside the well to show the actual depth, Harish slipped and fell into it.

Hearing the screams of Harish’s friends, villagers tried to jump into the well but did not as it was too deep.

Fire service rushed to the spot but were informed that Harsh had already died.

The well is close to 120 feet deep with a water level of 60 feet making it very hard to see.

His friends said that he loved modelling and taking photographs.

All he wanted to do was to click a picture of himself while showing the depth of the well in the background. And this one photograph turned fatal for him.
