BENGALURU: A teenager and a youth posing for a TikTok video being shot by a friend on the railway tracks near Yelahanka died when a train ran over them on Friday evening.

Aftab Sheriff, 19, and Mohammed Matin, 23, both from Hegde Nagar , lay on the tracks between Channasandra and Yelahanka and their friend Zabiullah Khan shot a video using his mobile phone when a passenger train hit them around 6pm.

“The loco pilot of the Yelahanka-Kolar-Chikkaballapura passenger train said that the trio never heard the train’s continuous whistles. While Zabiullah was flung some distance away, the other two were run over,” police said.

Sherrif was a food delivery boy, while Matin was a mechanic. “The three of them had come on two motorbikes which they parked near the railway crossing. Zabiullah has been shifted to the Yelahanka government hospital for treatment,” a police officer said.
