<p>He tragically succumbed to his wounds today. Ramandeep&#8217;s death is the latest in a growing list of selfie-related fatalities &#8211; a large proportion of which take place in India.<br />
The teenager, who attended Guru Harkishen Public School, and his older sister were reportedly alone in the house at the time of the deadly shooting. The gun belonged to Ramandeep&#8217;s property dealer father, and was usually kept in a wardrobe inside the home, police said. After the incident, Ramandeep was taken to a private hospital in Ludhiana, Punjab, where he was given emergency treatment. But despite medics&#8217; best efforts, he later died from his injuries.<br />
&#8220;As per statement given by his father, Ramandeep sustained bullet injury while taking selife with a revolver and the shot got accidentally fired,” Pathankot Deputy Superintendent of Police (City) Manoj Kumar told the Indian Express.<br />
Police have now seized the revolver that claimed Ramandeep&#8217;s life.</p>
<p>Last August, a 21-year-old Mexican man <span class="link">died after shooting himself in the head</span> while taking a gun-toting selfie. In Bali, a Singaporean man died after losing his balance while taking a selfie on the edge of a cliff. Last year, in India alone at least 27 people died worldwide in selfie-related circumstances.Of these, around half occurred in India. In January this year, a young man fell to his death while trying to snap a selfie from the top of Reasi Fort in Jammu and Kashmir, last January, three Indian college students were struck and killed by a train while attempting to take a picture of themselves.<br />
The high number of selfie-related deaths worldwide has been recorgnized as a problem by authorities. In India, Mumbai is to set up &#8216;no-selfie zones&#8217; at potentially dangerous locations.</p>
