Raigad: In a freak accident on July 18 Thursday, a 26-year-old Instagram influencer Aanvi Kamdar died after falling into a gorge at Kumbhe waterfall near Maharashtra's Raigad. A resident of Mumbai, Kamdar fell into a 300-foot gorge while shooting a reel.
Aanvi had set off on a trip with seven friends to the waterfall on July 16. The outing took a tragic turn around 10.30 am on Thursday when Aanvi slipped into a deep crevice when they were shooting a video.
Local authorities swiftly acted and a rescue team rushed to the scene. Additional support was sought from the Coast Guard, Kolad rescue team, and Maharashtra State Electricity Board staff.
As soon as they reached the spot, they realised that the girl had fallen nearly 300-350 feet. Even after reaching her, it was difficult to get her up, as she was injured and it was raining heavily. So they decided to get her out using a vertical pulley.
After a six-hour rescue operation, Aanvi was safely brought out from the gorge. However, due to severe injuries sustained in the fall, she succumbed to the injuries at the Managaon sub-district hospital soon after she was brought in.
