As the rain and mist made it difficult to retrieve the bodies, police roped in some trekkers for recovery operation. The body of Pratap Rathod who hailed from Beed was recovered at around 1 pm today, police said. The two victims and their friends worked at a poultry farm in Kolhapur. On July 31, while others left the Kawale Saad Point after spending some time, Garadi and Rathod lingered. When they didn't join the group, their friends approached Sawantwadi police.
Police found out about the mishap from local people. The viral video shows the two men, bottles in hand, climbing the railing around the edge of the valley and
backtracking once or twice. Then the two are seen standing on the edge, beyond the railing, and slipping down.
