Daijiworld Media Network – Raisen

Raisen, Dec 3: A 25-year-old man tragically died after falling from a 50-foot bridge in Raisen district, Madhya Pradesh, while allegedly filming a social media reel on Tuesday evening. The incident took place between Chilli-Silaari and Noornagar villages on the Jaipur-Jabalpur National Highway 45, about 110 km from the district headquarters.

The deceased, Madan Nooriya, a resident of Noornagar who worked at a nearby dhaba, was reportedly taking photos and recording reels on the bridge during sunset when he lost his balance and fell. “His backbone broke, and he became unconscious due to a severe head injury. The eatery staff rushed him to a hospital in Udaypura, where he was declared dead,” said Station In-charge Jaywant Singh Kakodia.

Police retrieved Nooriya’s mobile phone and confirmed he was recording a reel at the time of the fatal accident. A clip on his phone reportedly captured the fall. Authorities registered a case, conducted a post-mortem on Wednesday morning, and handed over the body to his family.

This marks the third such incident in Raisen this year. Earlier, two youths from Bhopal drowned while filming reels at Halali Dam near Salamatpur, and a young woman from Bhopal died after slipping from rocks into the Mahadev waterfall near Sehatganj.
