In a tragic incident in Uttarakhand's Uttarkashi, a woman drowned in the Ganga River while making a reel. The incident was caught on camera and has gone viral on social media.
According to media reports, the incident took place at the Manikarnika Ghat. The video shows the woman going in the river so that the video could be made. But her leg slipped, and she was swept away along with the water.
In the video, the child could be heard shouting "mummy" when she slipped into the water. According to media reports, the body of the woman has not been recovered so far. According to NDTV, the 35-year-old woman was visiting her relatives in Uttarakhand's Uttarkashi. On Monday, she was visiting Manikarnika Ghat with her 11-year-old daughter when the accident happened.
The incident serves the citizens as a grim reminder of prioritising safety over filming videos for social media reels. In July lastyear, an Instagram influencer died after falling onto a gorge while shooting a reel near Maharashtra's Raigad.
