Best Answer

Yes, especially in the rivers. There is one species called the Ganges River shark which is resonsible for numerous attacks. The Bull shark is also present in Indian waters and is a very dangerous shark. It hunts in the murky waters of rivers and can easily mistake a human for a fish and attack. If you intend to go swimming in Indian waters, avoid any murky waters.
