Claim

Also in Junagadh, Gujarat, a woman with children and a motorcyclist fell into a submerged drain.

“A woman with children and a motorcyclist falling into a submerged drain, my next case study, ladies and gentlemen, also from Junagar in Gujarat.”

Rationale

Independent Gujarati-language coverage (TV9 Gujarati, 2026-07-02) confirms that during the first monsoon rains in Junagadh an open drain concealed by accumulated rainwater caused multiple falls, including a woman with children in the Oghadnagar area and a motorcyclist at Azad Chowk who sustained a serious head injury. This matches the anchor's claim of a woman with children and a motorcyclist falling into a submerged drain in Junagadh. Confidence is slightly below full because injury details for the woman are unspecified and coverage of that specific fall is thinner than for the motorcyclist.
