A video going viral on social media allegedly claimed that a boat with hundreds of passengers sank in Goa. A user who shared the video on X (formerly Twitter) alleged that an overloaded steamer capsized in Goa. The X user also claimed that the accident led to the recovery of 23 bodies and the rescue of 40 people, with 64 others still missing. However, the news turned out to be fake and misleading. Reacting to the video, Goa police said that the viral clip was being wrongly attributed to a boat accident in Goa. "A video circulating on social media claims a boat capsized near Goa’s shores. This is false. The incident occurred in Goma, Congo, Africa," the tweet by Goa police read. They also urged people to refrain from sharing unverified news. Boat Capsize in Congo: 87 People Killed After Ferry Boat Sinks on Lake Kivu in DR Congo (Watch Videos).
