A 19-year-old BTech student jumped from the fourth floor of his college hostel in Coimbatore, believing he had superpowers. The student, identified as A Prabhu, a resident of Mekkur village near Perundurai in Erode district, is in his third year at Karpagam College of Engineering, studying Artificial Intelligence and Data Science. The incident occurred on Monday evening at the college’s hostel in Myleripalayam, Coimbatore district.
Prabhu reportedly told his friends and roommates he believed he had superhero-like powers that would protect him if he jumped from a building. He had also mentioned to his friends that he felt he was affected by sorcery or black magic in the past week. On Monday around 6:30 p.m., while other students were chatting on the hostel veranda, Prabhu suddenly jumped off the fourth floor.
The fall caused serious injuries, including fractures to his legs and hands and a head injury. Fellow hostel students immediately rushed him to Karpagam Hospital for first aid. Later, he was transferred to Ganga Hospital in Coimbatore city for further treatment.
Prabhu is currently receiving medical care, and authorities are investigating the incident. The college and police are expected to look into his mental state and any possible external factors that may have influenced his actions.
