Marayur: A youth drowned in a pond as he was recording a Tik Tok video with a Jallikattu bull. The deceased is 23-year-old Vigneshwaran, a native of Karuthampetty in Tamil Nadu. Vigneswaran and friends are handloom workers. They also train bulls for Jallikattu and other races.
The bull was irritated while they were recording the video with the animal. This caused Vigneswaran to lose control and drown. Despite efforts of his friends, they could not save him from drowning.
