A video has been going viral on the internet, claiming to show fish swimming in the waterlogged railway tracks in Mumbai amid heavy monsoon rains recently.
One of the posts is captioned. "Mumbai's monsoon fury turned railway tracks into waterways this week. A viral video captured catfish swimming freely on flooded local train tracks, as heavy rains submerged large parts of the city's suburban rail network."
The viral video was shared by several sources, including NDTV India and The New Indian Express.
How did we find out?: We ran a reverse image search on the video using Google Lens and found a report published on 10 July 2024 that shared the same visuals.
According to the report by News18, the heavy downpour in Mumbai led to waterlogged roads and railway tracks as well.
The report shared an X post with the same visuals as the claim video, showing fish swimming in the flooded railway tracks.
An article by Business Standard on Mumbai rains, published on 8 July 2024, also reported on fish swimming in Mumbai's waterlogged railway tracks.
