He fell 1000s of feet and broke his spine. What he did a year later was something even doctors called impossible
A man's ordinary adventure turned into a near-death experience when a paragliding accident sent him crashing thousands of feet from the sky. What followed was a painful and uncertain road to recovery—physically, emotionally, and mentally. But nearly a year later, defying medical advice and overcoming intense personal struggles, he stood once again where he felt most alive—on top of a mountain. Shared on the Human of Bombay Instagram handle, this is the story of resilience, of a man who refused to give up, even when everything around him told him to. Ankit Moyall was just eight years old when he took his first trek, a moment that would quietly shape the direction of his life. Over the years, his bond with the mountains only grew stronger. By 2020, during a trek in Kheerganga — where one side offered sunshine and the other rain — he felt certain that the mountains were where he truly belonged. During the lockdown, while the world stood still, Ankit found movement in solitude, escaping into the Himalayas whenever he could. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Play War Thunder now for free War Thunder Play Now Undo By 2023, this passion had turned into something bigger. His workplace was willing to sponsor a ₹16 lakh expedition to three peaks — a dream turning real. He began training intensively, focused only on preparation. But fate had something else in store. A Fall That Changed Everything While paragliding in Bir, a mid-air collision turned adventure into catastrophe. Another glider crashed into his parachute, tearing it apart. As he began falling rapidly "thousands of feet from the sky", panic gripped him. Below, people screamed. For Ankit, everything after that came in flashes — the ground rushing up, a silent scream stuck in his throat, and then, nothing but darkness. He opened his eyes inside an ambulance, unable to move. Doctors delivered the blow — a severely injured spine. He would take time to recover, they said, but what hit hardest was this: 'You won't be able to trek again.' Losing the Mountains, Losing Himself Bedridden and unable to lift himself, Ankit spiraled into despair. Depression followed, and at times, he questioned the point of it all. The mountains felt like a past life. 'The end felt near,' he recalled. But three months in, something shifted. He stood up. A single step — slow, shaky, but powerful. That moment reminded him the end wasn't near, it was far. He kept going — one step turned to two, then ten. By July 2024, he was walking on his own. Going against medical advice, he resumed training. The goal wasn't just physical recovery — it was reclaiming his identity. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Humans of Bombay (@officialhumansofbombay) The Climb Back Up In October 2024, Ankit returned to the mountains. His destination: Rudranath. His family was scared, but he knew he had to do it for himself. The moment he reached the summit, he broke down in tears — a release of every ounce of pain and fear he had carried. It was more than just a trek. It was a declaration: he had survived his lowest fall — not just from the sky, but from a place of hopelessness. That Rudranath climb became the first in a new chapter. He hasn't looked back since. Overcoming the biggest fall of his life—both literal and emotional—he reclaimed what the accident had almost taken away forever. In the comments section of the Humans of Bombay Instagram post, support flooded in with messages calling him "inspirational" and "a lion." Many said his story gave them chills and helped put their own struggles in perspective. Ankit's journey reminds us that even when life throws us off course — literally — resilience can help us find our way back. For those standing at their rock bottom, his story is a reminder: the climb is always possible.

Raipur Couple Kills Disabled Man, Hides Body In Cement-Filled Steel Trunk
Raipur: In a chilling development in the sensational Raipur murder case, the Chhattisgarh Police on Tuesday night brought back the accused couple-Ankit Upadhyay and his wife Shivani Sharma-from Delhi, where they had been arrested at the airport. The couple is accused of killing 45-year-old physically disabled Kishore Paikra and attempting to destroy evidence by concealing his body in a cement-filled steel trunk. The police are expected to produce the accused in court today and seek their remand for further interrogation. Investigators believe there could be more shocking revelations in the days ahead. According to police, the motive behind the gruesome murder appears to be a dispute over property. Kishore Paikra, the victim, had land registered in his name which was sold for Rs 50 lakh. The accused couple who were reportedly taking care of him were involved in the sale, but allegedly told Kishore that the land fetched only Rs 30 lakh. When Kishore learned of the discrepancy and demanded the remaining Rs 20 lakh, police believes that Ankit and Shivani conspired to murder him. They reportedly killed him, placed the body in a steel trunk, filled it with cement, and dumped it in a deserted part of a colony in Raipur. Raipur SSP Lal Ummed Singh confirmed that the couple had been arrested at Delhi airport. A team from Chhattisgarh Police had travelled to Delhi after tracking the suspects through CCTV footage and information from local vendors. According to investigators, the couple was identified after police traced a trunk marked "Habbu Bhai" back to a shop in Chhattisgarh's Golbazar. The shopkeeper recalled selling the trunk to a young man and woman matching the couple's description. CCTV footage from the shop and surrounding areas further helped police zero in on the suspects. The murder unravelled after locals in the colony noticed suspicious activity. On June 16, the couple had visited the colony to scout for rental property. A day later, Ankit reportedly rented a third-floor flat. On June 23, CCTV cameras captured the couple carrying a heavy trunk to a deserted spot nearby. A resident even alerted police after seeing Ankit moving the suspicious trunk from the lift. When the police later recovered the trunk with Kishore's body encased in cement, the connection to the missing man became clear.

Chhattisgarh horror: Disabled killed, then encased in cement & put in suitcase; married couple held at Delhi airport
RAIPUR: A murder trail starting with the discovery of a disabled man's body encased in cement, put in a suitcase within a steel trunk and dumped in a residential area of Chhattisgarh's capital city led investigators to Delhi airport Tuesday, where they arrested a married couple suspected to have masterminded the crime. Preliminary interrogation suggests suspects, Raipur lawyer Ankit Upadhyay and his wife, conspired to murder Kishore Paikra over a land brokerage dispute, Raipur SSP Lal Umed Singh said. Ankit, whose father is a retired ASI of Chhattisgarh police, and his wife were identified through CCTV footage from the area where Paikra's body was found. The footage purportedly shows a car entering Raipur's DD Nagar Monday, two men alighting and opening the boot to take out the trunk bearing the body. A woman with her face covered is seen trailing the car on a two-wheeler. The car had a possibly fudged number plate, police said. Investigators have learnt that the victim, who needed a wheelchair for mobility and lived in Handipara's HMT Chowk, had sold a plot of land in Mohadi village with Ankit's help for Rs 50 lakh but had received Rs 20 lakh less than the agreed price. Ankit, of Changorabhatha village, allegedly had Paikra murdered when the latter threatened to file a police complaint against him. The arrested couple was brought to Raipur late on Tuesday. TNN
