Nagpur: Eight students are feared dead after their boat capsized on a picnic at river Vena in Nagpur last evening. The group was reportedly celebrating a birthday and had streamed a video on Facebook Live just before the boat tipped over, around 6.30 pm.
Two boatmen and a student have been rescued and three bodies have been pulled out of the waters. Divers are looking for five more. The police suspect that the boat overturned when the men - all between 20 and 25 years - were taking videos and selfies.
"The youngsters came yesterday to enjoy a boat ride. We are looking for seven people," said police officer Suresh Bhoyat this morning.
A witness who saw the boat turning over called the police. A local diver helped rescue three.
