Eight youths who were clicking selfies and uploading them live on Facebook, drowned when their boat capsized on the Vena Lake near here, officials said on Monday.

Till the evening, the police have recovered six bodies, while three, including one of the two boatmen, managed to swim safely to the lake bank.

The incident took place when the youths went on a boat ride on the picturesque Vena lake, on the outskirts of the state’s second capital.

Nagpur Guardian Minister Chandrashekhar Bawankule, who rushed to the site on Monday morning and supervised the rescue operations, said the small boat carried 11 people, including the boatmen, when the tragedy struck late on Sunday.

“According to information available, the youths were clicking selfies on their mobiles when the tragedy occurred,” Bawankule told the media. He appealed to people not to indulge in such activities (clicking selfies) to prevent similar tragedies.

The police said that while clicking selfies, the youngsters were allegedly moving around, changing their positions and one was giving different poses, which may have caused the boat to rock, lose balance and capsize.
