A 40-year-old man named Vikas from Saharanpur drowned in the Ganga River in Haridwar while his friends continued recording a reel instead of helping him. The incident occurred at Govind Ghat, where the group had gone to bathe and shoot videos. Vikas crossed the safety railing to swim, but quickly began to struggle in the water. A disturbing video shared on X by journalist @AjitSinghRathi shows him swimming briefly before he starts struggling and drowns. Shockingly, his friends kept filming instead of attempting a rescue. Reels Craze Turns Fatal in Uttarkashi: Woman Drowns in Ganga While Filming Social Media Reel at Manikarnika Ghat; Video of Tragic Incident Surfaces.
