FactO Check:
A reverse image search of the image directed us to an article by Deccan Herald with a title 30 die, many missing as ferry capsises in Bangladesh’s Dhaka.

At least 30 people died and a dozen are missing after a ferry capsized and sank in the Bangladeshi capital, Dhaka, following a collision with another vessel in June 2020.

Bangladesh Inland Water Transport Authority’s chief, Commodore Golam Sadeqk, said the single-deck ship was “not overcrowded” and sank “due to carelessness”.
