A travel influencer died after falling into a gorge while shooting a video near the Kumbhe waterfalls in the Mangaon district of Raigad on Wednesday, police said.
The deceased has been identified as Aanvi Kamdar (26), a resident of Mumbai. A travel influencer, Kamdar was fond of shooting reels. She had gone to the waterfalls with her friends to enjoy the rainy season at the waterfalls.

As soon as information about the incident was received, the Sahyadri Wildlife Conservation Society and Mangaon police officers reached the location, along with the rescue forces.
Superintendent of Police Raigad, Somnath Gharge, said that the woman was alive after falling into the gorge and was rescued. However, during the treatment, she passed away.

However, after going closer, she was breathing, which confirmed that she was alive. She was immediately taken to the hospital. However, she died during the treatment," Somnath Gharge said.

The rescue operation was started after taking stock of the situation. Earlier, on June 30, at around 12:30 p.m, a family of five died after drowning in a waterfall near the Bhushi Dam in Pune's Lonavala.
