Claim

This week, two college girls were electrocuted on a waterlogged road, were initially presumed dead, but survived.

“You see viewers, there are two college girls, this week alone, lying there, electrocuted... on a waterlogged road... the girls survive, they're out of danger.”

Rationale

A real incident matching the claim occurred on July 1, 2026 — the day before the broadcast — under LP Bridge in Nerul, Navi Mumbai: two college girls on a scooter were electrocuted when a short circuit electrified a waterlogged road, collapsed and lay motionless, were rescued by bystanders, and survived after hospitalization. The core assertions (two college girls, this week, electrocuted on a waterlogged road, survived) are corroborated by multiple independent outlets. The embellishments 'initially presumed dead' and 'out of danger' are not explicitly confirmed — reports describe them as motionless then critical and under treatment — but viral video of them lying motionless supports the 'presumed dead' framing, making the claim substantially accurate.
