Claim: Visuals of an army aspirant killing himself by standing in front of a running train, as he is ineligible for the post according to new recruitment rules under Agnipath scheme.
Fact-check: Video of a mentally unstable man killing himself is shared as an Army aspirant's suicide due to Agnipath scheme - FACTLY
Verdict: the man in the video is b. sanjay kumar , a native of odisha, who was staying in hyderabad. he was working in a hardware shop and was suffering from mental illness. on 21 november 2021, he went to ramagundam railway station and committed suicide by standing in front of a moving train. hence, the claim made in the post is misleading.
