In a tragic incident in Navanagar, Bagalkot district, an 18-month-old girl named Ameena Pathan drowned after falling into a water tank while playing. In a desperate attempt to revive her, her family followed a misguided belief propagated by a social media post that claimed placing a body in salt could bring drowning victims back to life. They procured 50 kg of salt and buried her body, leaving only her face exposed, while praying for her revival. This unusual practice lasted for nearly two hours until medical professionals at the district hospital intervened. They explained the futility of the act and conducted a postmortem before handing the body back to the grieving family. Family members expressed that their actions stemmed from desperation following the tragic accident. The incident has highlighted the dangers of misinformation circulating on social media, which can lead to harmful practices in critical situations.
