Ramdas Naik (16) from Kudabail in Haldipur, a SSLC student of Gurukul high school at Karki near Honnavar, jumped in front of a train that was moving toward Ernakulam near Haldipur between Kumta and Honnavar. His body was stuck in the front engine of the train and he died after the iron rod of the train hit the back of his head. Both his legs had been severed.
The incident had come to the notice of the railway officials after the train reached Honnvar station. Photos of the same had become viral on social media. Some had also given this photo the headline, 'train pulls away person taking selfie'.
