Only two of them managed to swim back. Rescuers have recovered three bodies so far and the search and rescue op will resume at daybreak tomorrow.
A man, a woman, and children clinging on to them for support in the middle of a raging waterfall in Lonavala near Mumbai were swept away by the gushing waters. Only two of them managed to swim back.
The family of seven were holidaying in the hill station just 80 km from Mumbai. Three bodies have been recovered so far and the search and rescue op will resume at daybreak tomorrow.
Like hundreds of tourists who throng this hill town during the monsoons, the family went picnicking at the waterfall near the backwaters of the Bhusi Dam this afternoon. Heavy rains in the region since early morning caused the dam to overflow, which increased the flow of water in the waterfall.
