      Unrelated Video Falsely Shared As Women Drowning In Mumbais Bandra

      An unrelated video showing disturbing visuals of two women being swept away by strong tidal waves is viral with false claims that the incident happened in Mumbai's Bandra beach.

      BOOM reached out to Rajesh Devre, police inspector, Bandra Police, who confirmed that no such incident of drowning was reported from the Bandra Beach.

      The India Meteorological Department has issued a nowcast warning of heavy rainfall in several parts of Maharashtra including Mumbai, Pune, Satara, Solapur, Sangli and Kolhapur districts. Schools and colleges in Palghar district will be shut on July 14 on account of heavy rains.

      The video shows visuals of two women being pulled into the water, as others cry for help and a man rushes to rescue them, but in vain.

      Facebook pages including Haryana Bulletin news and Aadhar News Haryana reported the video as an incident that happened in Mumbai's Bandra beach.

      The video has been captioned in Hindi as, "Playing with the sea waves at Mumbai's Bandra sea beach proved fatal for two women, as the hightide pulled them into the sea, claiming their lives."

      See the Facebook posts here and here.

      BOOM also received this video via its WhatsApp helpline for verification.

      Abu Dhabi based news outlet, Erem News shared a tweet by the handle Weather Oman, carrying the same video. According to the tweet, the video documents the accident where members of an Asian family drowned after they crossed the safety barrier.
