In a stunning move that captured the attention of social media, a student from Maharashtra’s Satara district paraglided his way to his college, bypassing the usual traffic chaos. Samarth Mahangade, hailing from Pasarani Village in Wai taluka, took to the skies after realizing he had little time to reach his exam center and was stuck in a traffic jam.
The viral video shows Samarth, armed with his college bag and fully geared for the flight, soaring through the air before landing near his exam venue. His unconventional approach left viewers astonished and impressed. The dramatic stunt quickly gained traction across social platforms.
