Just In: YouTuber’s Reel Ends in Horror at Waterfall

A shocking video has gone viral: 22-year-old YouTuber Sagar Tudu (also known as Sagar Kundu) from Berhampur is now missing after being swept away by powerful currents at the Duduma Waterfall in Odisha while filming content for social media. The entire heart-stopping moment unfolded on camera.

What Happened:

• Sagar was seen posing near the waterfall—using drone shots—when a sudden surge, caused by water release from Machakunda Dam, overcame him. He lost balance and was carried away by the strong current. ([turn0news14], [turn0news16])
• Friends and bystanders attempted to rescue him—one even tried throwing a rope—but the attempt failed. The search continues, with only his bag and filming gear found. ([turn0news15], [turn0news14])
• Search teams including police, fire personnel, ODRAF, and locals are combing the area, but as of now, there’s no sign of him. ([turn0news15], [turn0news14])

For Those Not Up to Speed:

In a tragic twist, Sagar’s misadventure highlights the growing danger of content-driven stunts. Duduma Falls is notorious for unpredictable currents—especially during monsoon release from nearby dams. This isn’t just an accident; it’s now a viral warning that nature doesn’t bend for clicks.

Social Media Reacts:

“This is more terrifying than any horror movie.”
“Caught on camera and gone in seconds… this is raw.”
