Mhow (Madhya Pradesh): A weekend outing took a tragic turn when two cousins lost their lives while bathing at the notorious Lodhiya Kund waterfall near Choral. According to Simrol police, a group of five young men from Indore embarked on a long hike in the dense forest region. Following their strenuous trek, the group decided to take a break at Lodhiya Kund to cool off and bathe.
During the outing, two of the young men, identified as 25-year-old Ajeet Singh and 23-year-old Anjali Chauhan, ventured into deep water and began drowning. Local villagers quickly arrived at the scene and retrieved both bodies from the water. The deceased were subsequently sent to Mhow Civil Hospital for post-mortem examinations.
The infamous Lodhiya Kund, along with nearby picnic spots such as Tincha Falls and Choral, under the jurisdiction of Simrol police station, has a history of deadly drowning incidents, accounting for a significant portion of fatal accidents in rural Indore. Authorities consistently attribute these recurring tragedies to tourists underestimating water depth, strong hidden currents, and hazardous whirlpools along the rocky terrain.
Local officials continue to warn visitors against entering deep natural waters and to strictly adhere to safety protocols.
