According to police in Kanpur city, Uttar Pradesh state, India, while a group of seven men were swimming in the Ganga river on June 22, one of them decided to take a unique selfie for the whole group.

However, while choosing a good angle for the photo, the man lost his balance and was swept away by the current.

“Six friends who were with him drowned while trying to help their friend in distress,” a police official said.

Earlier this year, Indian authorities were forced to declare 16 “no selfie” zones around Mumbai, following the sudden deaths of several people trying to pose for selfies.

These areas include famous places, such as Bandra Bandstand, Marine Drive or Girgaum Chowpatty beach.
