Durg, Chhattisgarh: A dramatic and bizarre incident in Durg, Chhattisgarh, has left people in shock after a man jumped from a three-storey building, landed on high-tension wires, suffered an electric shock, and miraculously survived. The incident, which was caught on camera, quickly went viral on social media, with netizens dubbing him a “superhuman.”
A Shocking Leap and Miraculous Survival
The unsettling event unfolded in Indira Market, Durg, where the man, identified as Tejaraj Nayak, climbed onto the roof of a three-story building near a hotel. Eyewitnesses say he was behaving erratically, prompting concerned locals to inform the police. When officers arrived at the scene, they attempted to persuade him to come down safely, but Nayak suddenly leaped off the building.
Instead of landing directly on the ground, Nayak struck high-tension electric wires, resulting in a massive spark that sent shockwaves through the gathered crowd. His limp body then crashed onto a first-floor balcony, leaving many fearing the worst. However, in an astonishing turn of events, Nayak stood up and began throwing bricks at the policemen and bystanders who had assembled to help him.
What Led to the Incident?
Reports suggest that Nayak, a resident of Kalahandi, Odisha, had traveled to Durg from Hyderabad for his child’s treatment. For reasons still unclear, he left the hospital and climbed the building, where he started hurling bricks and stones, damaging vehicles in the area.
Authorities suspect that Nayak may have been experiencing mental distress, though no official confirmation has been provided. His erratic behavior, combined with the reckless jump, has raised concerns about his mental health and well-being.
Police Response and Medical Attention
After a prolonged struggle, police officers managed to restrain Nayak, but he resisted arrest and briefly broke free. Eventually, he was subdued and transported to the district hospital for medical evaluation and treatment. His condition remains stable, though further psychiatric assessment may be required.
The Viral Sensation and Public Reactions
As videos of the incident spread across social media, reactions ranged from disbelief to concern. While some users joked about his survival skills, others emphasized the need for proper mental health support and intervention. The footage has also reignited discussions about safety measures around high-tension wires in urban areas.
