MUMBAI: A video clip, which shows a group of children performing a dangerous stunt on the railway tracks, has gone viral on instant messengers on smartphones.

The clip shows three young boys running towards a railway track while their fourth associate records the goings-on. The trio then lies down flat on the tracks, fitting themselves between the concrete sleepers. Their fourth associate shouts aloud that a fast train is about to arrive. The trio does not move till the train passes above them. They then get up, demonstrating how they haven't been hurt. The boys appear to be aged between 12 and 14 years.

The clip does not show the location where the stunt has been performed. Kumar said the GRP has been continuously cracking down on youths performing stunts, arresting as many as 25 on the Western Railway on Tuesday.

Reacting to the clip, GRP commissioner Prabhat Kumar on Thursday said people should desist from performing stunts, which often put life at risk. He added action could be taken under the Railway Act if the identities of the youngsters were established.
