Hyderabad constable sets himself on fire to impress Salman Khan

The first episode of Entertainment Ke Liye Aur Bhi Kuch Karega has Hyderabad Special Police Force constable Santosh Maltumkar perform stunts on the stage. Santosh’s act required him to cover his face with a cloth and then set it on fire and break piles of glass slabs. His act had the judges Farah, Anu and celebrity Salman Khan literally on the edge of their seat! But what transpired later was shocking when the fire increased and became unbearable for Santosh. The production crew got into action to stop it from spreading but Santosh faced some severe burns on his chest. Even though the judges asked Santosh to end the act and reassured him that he was already a winner for them, Santosh was adamant on performing the stunt once again. And he did it. Ironically when we spoke to Santosh on the danger in performing the act he said, “I have been performing stunts for many years now and have taught more than 12,000 students. Nothing has ever gone wrong. I am very confident about my act.” This episode goes on air on September 14 at 10.00 pm on Sony.
