A video of the incident has been widely shared on social media. In it, he is seen trying to climb up the wall of the dam, which has a waterfall running over it. The man had climbed up over half the wall and almost reached the top, even as other visitors looked on. He was about to climb further, when he suddenly lost his grip on the slippery stones and landed on the rocky ground. People are heard screaming as he falls, and a few people standing close to the wall helped the man sit up and carried him to the side.

 


The man fell almost 30 feet and reportedly sustained several injuries. He had performed the stunt despite the warnings of the dam authorities. He was immediately rushed to a hospital in Bengaluru to treat his injuries, where reports say he is in a critical condition.

Hundreds of people visit the Srinivasa Sagar dam, located about 75 km from Bengaluru. The dam wall is reportedly as high as 50 feet. The Karnataka police have booked a case against the man, as he tried to scale the dam wall despite warnings from officials there. He has also been warned by district authorities to not repeat such a risky stunt. According to reports, the administration has said that heavy fines will be imposed on those trying to perform risky stunts at the dam in the future.
