The incident occurred at Patan village in Maval tehsil. Another person died after being swept away on a flooded road in Khed tehsil, the officials said.

Three members of a family -- Nandu Tikone, Mauli Tikone and Anita Nandu Tikone -- were trapped after their house was buried under debris when a landslide struck the village in the early hours, police said.

While the police and district administration stated there were three persons inside the house when the incident took place, the NDRF said four to five persons were trapped under the debris.

"The bodies of two persons have been recovered from the debris, and the search is underway for the other missing persons," an NDRF official said.

Deputy Superintendent of Police (Lonavala division) Gajanan Tompe said three landslides occurred in the remote village following heavy rainfall.
