CCTV footage of the freak accident is igniting the internet.
The electrifying incident occurred on Dec. 27 while the unidentified ticket-checker was talking with a man on a subway platform at the Kharagpur Junction railway station in West Bengal State, according to Jam Press.
His conversation was interrupted when an errant cable apparently fell on the inspector, sending a stream of volts ripping through his body. In the clip, the power line can be seen hitting his upper torso, causing his clothes to briefly ignite as he topples backward onto the subway tracks. After lying motionless on the rails for several seconds, the victim manages to roll onto his side, whereupon bystanders arrive and carry him off the tracks on a stretcher.
Thankfully, the railway worker survived his accidental electroshock therapy despite sustaining a few burns. Meanwhile, authorities have since launched a probe into the mishap with the goal of discovering how the cable came loose.The stricken man fell backward and into the train rail bed as the man he was talking with fled in horror.
