A viral video showing a youth jumping into the sea from the middle of the Pamban Road Bridge has triggered a police investigation in Rameswaram.
The clip, reportedly shared by a tourist on Instagram, captures a train passing over the iconic Pamban Railway Bridge while a young man suddenly leaps into the sea from the nearby road bridge. The footage has been widely circulated on social media, drawing concern and criticism.
Acting on the viral post, Pamban Police have begun investigating to identify the youth and confirm whether the video is genuine.
