Video: B.Tech Student Leaps from Hostel, Believing He Had Superpowers—Now in ICU

In a startling incident, a 19-year-old B.Tech student from a college in Coimbatore sustained severe injuries after jumping from the fourth floor of his hostel, reportedly believing he had superpowers that would protect him. The student, identified as Prabhu from the Erode district, was rushed to a private hospital where he is currently being treated for fractures in his arms and legs, along with a head injury.

According to initial reports, Prabhu had previously expressed unusual beliefs, mentioning to peers that he was under a “spell” and possessed special powers. College staff and fellow students revealed that he often spoke of his belief in supernatural abilities, which appear to have influenced his actions. Onlookers from the hostel reported seeing him leap from the fourth floor, only to realize he had gravely misjudged his abilities.

The Coimbatore police have since registered a case and initiated an investigation into the incident, aiming to understand what led to Prabhu’s risky behavior.
