Earlier, in January 2015, a 16-year-old suffered 90 per cent
burns while performing a stunt on the roof of a train while trying to click a
selfie. He had received an electric shock from a 25,000-volt overhead wire.
Throwing light upon the growing selfie addiction, Dr Sagar
Mundada, psychiatrist, JJ Hospital, said, “In the past one year, 12 people have
died in accidents while clicking selfies. It is becoming an addiction. I have
seen two cases where if the patients don’t click at least five selfies every
day, they would become very anxious.”
