Two Men Drown at Devkund Waterfall After Entering Restricted Area in Raigad
Two men from Pune drowned at Raigad's Devkund Waterfall after allegedly ignoring police warnings and entering a restricted area via an unauthorized route. The deceased, Gopal Ramlal Rathod and Vishnu Vilas Dhok, were part of a 20-member group visiting the site. Police had stopped the group at a checkpoint due to safety concerns amid monsoon conditions. Dhok, who reportedly could not swim, may have clung to Rathod while struggling, leading to both drowning. Rescue efforts were suspended at night and planned to resume the next day.
