“I like YouTube. I used to watch videos regularly. Videos of such adventures attracted me. I saw many videos of trains crushing things. I am inspired by them and made such videos because they get lakhs of views. I didn’t know it is a crime. I am only now finding that out,” Ramireddy said. He then urged people not to venture into these kind of activities.
