A 9-year-old boy in India has become famous on social media for his ability to light a light bulb with his own electricity.
Abu Thahir discovered his unique ability by accident when his father brought home an electric light bulb. Abu touched his hand and the light bulb suddenly came on even though there was no power.

The 9-year-old boy confidently performed a leather electric light show.
In the pictures shared online, Abu easily lights the bulb with his hands and feet without connecting himself to any power source.
However, some people doubted Abu’s ability because the video did not show his entire body but only his upper body. They suspect Abu attached electricity to his body.
Others claim that Abu belongs to a group of people who are able to withstand high voltage currents without dying. Currently, the cause of this strange ability is still not clear, although scientists have studied for a long time.
Independent expert Joshy K. Kuriakose says that people who sweat more than the average person often have high salt levels in the body. If the concentration is higher than normal, the body can conduct electricity.
The three boys see this special ability as a gift from God and accept it.
