KHEDA,GUJARAT : A leisure outing turned into a devastating tragedy for a group of friends from Ahmedabad as they met with a fatal accident in the waters of Mahisagar River near Galteshwar on June 2.
According to initial reports, nine friends embarked on a trip to Galteshwar, a revered Shiva Temple nestled along the banks of the Mahisagar River in Sarnal village near Dakor, Kheda district. While enjoying a bath in the river, one of them found themselves in distress, prompting three others to rush to their aid. Tragically, all four individuals succumbed to the strong currents, despite valiant attempts by onlookers to rescue them.
