Overview
- A personal CCTV camera in a Kota hostel room recorded a large wall‑mounted storage cabinet detaching and falling directly onto a sleeping student’s bed.
- The student had installed the camera to deter repeated thefts, but the device instead captured the sudden structural failure and the moment the unit crashed.
- The footage carries an on‑screen timestamp of April 6, 2025 and was reshared on X in November 2026, producing fresh viral attention and media coverage.
- Reports say the student escaped without serious injury, but outlets note there is no detailed official medical update or public record of a formal investigation yet.
- The video has prompted safety warnings for hostel owners and students and renewed calls for regular checks of screws, brackets and wall fixings in Kota’s dense coaching‑hub housing.
