Circus Performer Dies During Live Burial Stunt

A 27-year-old man named Deepak, who was part of a traditional circus troupe, died during a stunt in Haryana.

The stunt, called 'live Samadhi,' involved him being buried alive in a pit covered with soil.

Deepak had performed this stunt many times before, but this time it went wrong, and he suffocated.

He was rushed to the hospital, but doctors declared him dead.

The authorities are investigating the incident and have stated that such stunts are illegal.

Deepak's family, who are also performers, travel from village to village, performing various acts.

This tragic event has raised questions about the safety and legality of such traditional performances.

Eyewitnesses claimed that Deepak remained buried for nearly 36 hours, significantly longer than promised, and that his rescue was delayed until ₹7,100 was collected.
