A 22-year-old married woman from Gurugram fell from a bridge in Haridwar while trying to click a selfie and fell into Ganga river.

Rachna, a resident of Manohar Nagar, lost her balance and fell from Birla bridge around 9 pm on Wednesday, said police.

“Rachna was strolling on the bridge with her husband Anoop and her son when the incident happened. She sat on top of the bridge railing to take a selfie and lost her balance,” said Pravin Singh Koshiyari, station house officer Kotwali, Haridwar.

“Anoop shouted for help after she fell into the river, drawing a crowd to the spot. However, nobody dared to help them out as it was dark. After few moments, police reached the spot and launched a search operation. The operation continued on Thursday but they failed to find her,” he added.
