Claim: Image of floating dead bodies in river Ganga in Buxar, Bihar.
Fact-check: Old image of dead bodies floating in the Ganga in UP is shared as that from Buxar in Bihar - FACTLY
Verdict: while it is reported that dead bodies of covid-19 fatalities are being dumped in the ganga in bihar, this image actually shows dead bodies floating along the shores of ganga near pariyar in unnao district of uttar pradesh back in 2015. multiple news agencies have reported the incident back then. this image has nothing to do with buxar or covid-19. hence the claim made in the post is misleading.
