Vijay Kamindra Pandey, aged 45, along with his wife Gayathridevi, aged 40, and their 11-year-old daughter Gauri, residents of Dama Residence in Umargam’s Gandhiwadi, had ventured to Humaran Shiv Mandir in Sanjan for an afternoon outing.
The tranquility of the outing was shattered when Gayathridevi and Gauri accidentally fell into the river from the bridge. In a desperate bid to save them, Vijay leaped into action, attempting a rescue. However, as he sought to rescue his wife and daughter, he found himself ensnared by the pillar of the bridge.
Eyewitnesses rushed to aid Vijay, managing to rescue him from the precarious situation. The police, following the distress call, arrived promptly at the scene. Local swimmers joined in the search efforts, eventually recovering the lifeless bodies of Gayathridevi and Gauri from the river.
Officer in charge, speaking under condition of anonymity, stated, “The incident is a heartbreaking tragedy. We are conducting a thorough investigation to ascertain the nature of this unfortunate event.
