Ratan Tata's loyal pet dog 'Goa' is alive and well, confirms Mumbai police officer amid fake news
Mumbai Police senior inspector Sudhir Kudalkar disputed a false report on social media concerning the death of late Ratan Tata's pet dog 'Goa'.
A false WhatsApp message claiming that Goa had died was circulating worldwide. The note stated, "Sad news... Tata's pet dog GOA dies three days after his death. That's why they say dogs are more loyal to their owners than humans!"

After confirming, inspector Sudhir posted an Instagram reel with the caption, "A WhatsApp message is circulating about Late Ratan Tata Ji¡¯s pet dog, Goa, passed away.
