Officials say he is out of danger now and gonna recover. He also has been charged with trespassing and ordered to pay 500 rupees. A study was done and from 2014 to 2016 and there were 76 deaths in India involving selfies and trains. This guy was lucky.

Not hard to see why a lot of people die in India on trains, something like 3000 per year:
