In a heartbreaking incident in Ahmedabad, one young person lost their life and four others narrowly escaped tragedy after falling into the Sabarmati River while attempting to create a social media reel. According to Gujarat Samachar, the group of five youths was filming near the riverbank when they lost their footing and were swept into the water.
Local authorities and emergency services responded swiftly, launching a rescue operation. Four of the individuals were successfully pulled to safety, but one could not be saved and was pronounced dead at the scene. The identities of the victims have not been disclosed, and the exact circumstances leading to the accident remain under investigation.
This incident serves as a grim reminder of the dangers associated with filming in hazardous locations for social media content. Gujarat Samachar reported that the Sabarmati River, a popular spot for locals, has seen similar accidents in the past, underscoring the need for greater caution around its banks.
In another tragic incident , A 20-year-old woman from Bihar, employed at a shopping mart, died after falling from the 13th floor of an under-construction building in Bengaluru’s Parappana Agrahara while filming a social media reel. The incident occurred during a late-night party with friends, following a dispute over a relationship issue that led her to the terrace to record a “sad reel.” She slipped and fell into a lift shaft, and her friends fled the scene. DCP (South East) Fatima confirmed the incident, noting that the Parappana Agrahara Police have registered an Unnatural Death Report and are investigating, with the role of the dispute still unclear.
