A 15-year-old boy died after being electrocuted while attempting to film a social media video in Kishoreganj’s Nikli upazila on Saturday. The victim, identified as Md. Monayem, was attempting to capture footage for TikTok near the Nanshre bridge in the Karapasha union when the accident occurred.
Witnesses reported that Monayem, the son of local resident Rafiqul Islam, had climbed an electric utility pole near the bridge to film a dramatic leap into the haor water. While on the structure, he made contact with a live wire, suffering a severe electric shock that caused him to fall into the water below, where he quickly submerged and disappeared from sight.
