According to the officials, a daredevil Indian who held the Guinness World Record for covering the longest distance on a zip-line while hanging by his hair has died while performing a stunt.
Furthermore, Mr Sailendra Nath Roy who was a 49-year-old police officer, was attempting to cross the turbulent River Teesta on Sunday in the state of West Bengal on a 180-metre wire above the water.
After attaching his shoulder-length hair to a pulley on the wire, Mr Roy had completed about half of the distance but he then became involved in difficulties and found himself unable to move, according to a photographer at the scene said.
To conclude, hundreds of spectators initially cheered him on, but then began screaming in horror when they saw Roy making increasingly desperate attempts to move forward.
It's really shocking as well mournful!
