Woman jumps into Naini Lake for Net fameIf social media and the internet have some advantages, it also has drawbacks. A living example of this was seen near Nainital Lake on Sunday when a middle-aged woman jumped into water with the intention of scoring a lot of likes on social media. Some say she jumped into the Naini Lake with the intention of taking her own life. The youths, who were swimming nearby in the lake, pulled out the woman and sent her to the hospital through the police. The woman told the police that she took the step to get more and more likes on the internet and thereby earn money. The woman was later admitted to the B D Pandey Hospital.
