Caught on camera: Tourists swept away in gushing waters near dam in Lonavala

The bodies of a 36-year-old woman and two girls, aged 13 and eight, were found in the backwater of Bushi Dam in Lonavala on Sunday after five members of a family were swept away due to high force of water. The search operations for a nine-year-old boy and a four-year-old girl had been stalled by the end of the day on Sunday.

The five family members were washed away on Sunday afternoon due to a sudden rise in water levels at the popular tourist destination. The incident occurred at 1:30 pm, when the Ansari family visited Bushi Dam.
