Bengaluru – India:  A 23-year-old man, who broke his spinal cord while performing a somersault for a video to be uploaded on TikTok mobile app succumbed to his injuries.

Kumar singer and dancer of an orchestra from Godekere in Tumakuru district was seriously injured while performing a stunt at a school ground on June 18. He died without responding to treatment at the Victoria hospital in Bengaluru.
