PI of Shahapur police station, BH Pawar said, “Eyewitnesses informed that the deceased jumped – rather than fell – from a height, tried to land on his feet, missed and went underwater. His friends got him out. It appears that these leaps are inspired by the jump in the movie Baahubali.” Sadly this is not the first time that such stunts have been performed by men. The police said that it is common for people, either in the intoxicated or sober, to perform stunts that end up hurting them.

However, the businessman’s brother, Mahendra is claiming that his brother was not someone to do such risky stunts. The “My brother was pushed. It must have either been a planned attack, or someone might have accidentally or playfully pushed him,” the heart broked brother claimed. Indrapal is survived by his wife, and his family is still trying to figure out exactly what happened. Meanwhile, the Shahapur police said that they are considering making the tourist spot a no-entry zone, owing to the increased number of accidents.
