This video is shocking – literally.
Because the hair-raising film introduces Deepak Jangra – a Indian teenager able to withstand 11,000 VOLTS passing through his body. The 17-year-old discovered his strange skill when he was repairing his mother’s heater. And now he claims he can resist enough electricity to power 500 houses and can even sit with his hands inside a tub of water along with naked live wires.
He told local media: ‘I have a gift from God. I feel very privileged. I have the power to do things no-one else can and I don’t intend on wasting it.’
‘I used to be scared of electricity but now I am confident. I have tested myself over and over again and I will never get hurt. I can touch a live wire with my tongue and I know nothing will happen to me.’
