Ten people lost their lives, while 22 others were rescued after a pilgrimage turned tragedy for visitors, primarily from Punjab, after their boat capsized in Yamuna river in Vrindavan.
A video has emerged from moments before the tragedy showed the pilgrims on the boat clapping and chanting “Radhe Radhe”.
The video, possibly recorded by one of the visitors, showed none of the passengers on the boat seemed to have life jackets.
A pontoon bridge that was recently dismantled due to rising water levels is said to have been the primary trigger behind the disaster.
The group on the boat was part of a larger group of 132 tourists who came in two buses from Ludhiana and Muktsar districts of Punjab to visit Mathura and Vrindavan.
