He landed in the water and appeared to be unconscious, eventually slipping under the surface.
The tragic jump took place at Gaurghat Waterfall in Sonhat, north east of Nagpur, India.
Police spokesperson Pramod Kumar Pandey said: “Rahul Singh was attempting to make a video reel when he jumped into the water from a height of 50 feet.
“He drowned shortly after and went missing.
“The accident was witnessed by several people nearby.
“But despite efforts to rescue him, the operation had to be suspended due to darkness.
“The next day, local and Ambikapur divers joined the rescue operation which continued through without success.”
He added: “After continuous efforts, we were able to locate and recover the body.”
Divers found his body at around 1pm on Sunday (19 Jan).
Following an autopsy, the victim’s body was handed over to his family for final rites.
Many locals called on the authorities to step up security at the tourist spot.
One resident said: “There is no warning board or guards at the site.
“Many incidents like this occur every year, yet no significant action has been taken by the authorities.”
Residents want to see the installation of more warning signs as well as security personnel at the tourist attraction, as reported by Need To Know.
