A 16-year-old boy lost his life after falling nearly 45 feet when a zipline cable reportedly snapped at an amusement facility in Agra on Sunday evening.
The incident took place around 6 pm at a recreational site in the Tajganj area. The victim, identified as Kunal Agrawal, had visited the facility with his family for an outing.
A video of the incident circulating on social media shows the teenager falling onto a structure below before crashing to the ground after the cable allegedly broke midway during the ride.
According to police, Kunal was the son of Pankaj Agrawal, a bangle trader from Firozabad. Soon after the accident, police reached the spot and rushed the injured boy to Sarojini Naidu Medical College (SNMC), where doctors declared him dead.
Police have registered an FIR and launched an investigation into the incident.
Authorities said the amusement facility comes under the Agra Development Authority (ADA), while the adventure activities at the site had been outsourced to a private company.
Following the tragic incident, all adventure activities at the facility have been suspended, police added.
