For the Singhs, their family vacation could not have gone more wrong. With Eid falling on a Saturday, the family had decided to use the long weekend to holiday at Lonavla. But as fate and a series of misfortunes would have it, they instead ended up visiting a waterfall at Panvel, where they eventually lost their 11-year-old son to a freak boulder crash.

The Khar-based family was bathing in the waterfall when a large boulder suddenly came crashing down upon them. 11-year-old Ajay Singh was the hardest hit, and he finally succumbed to his injuries at MGM Hospital on Wednesday night. His father, Dinesh (35), was merely bruised, but his six-year-old cousin is currently in critical condition.
