The outing took a horrible turn when Kamdar slipped and fell into a deep crevice at about 10.30am. She was said to be recording a video for Instagram when she slipped.
Assistant police inspector Nivrutti Borhade from Mangaon police station said the spot where Kamdar fell from was “very dangerous”. Borhade also noted that it was pouring that day.
The rescue team reportedly took about an hour to reach the scene of the incident.
Despite reaching the location at about 12.15pm, the rescue team only managed to bring her out of the gorge at about 4.30pm.
The 27-year-old was conveyed to the hospital but eventually succumbed to her injuries.
