A newly married bride and three of her family were killed after posing for a photo at a famous Tamil Nadu landmark.
Police for the southern state say that the four drownings occurred at the Pambar dam near a reservoir where visitors are taking risky selfies.
Six of the party were holding hands and wading into the water above the dam to pose for pictures when one of them slipped. The others were pulled over in the current.
It was reported that the husband was able to save his sister, but his new wife and the others were swept over the dam and drowned.
