Tragic Accident in Nashik Claims Nine Lives from One Family

Devastating Incident in Nashik

Nashik: A heartbreaking incident occurred in Nashik, Maharashtra, where nine individuals from the same family tragically lost their lives after their vehicle fell into a roadside well in the Shivajinagar locality. This unfortunate event has brought sorrow to the entire Dindori taluka, prompting an ongoing police investigation.

Reports indicate that the Dargode family had traveled from Indore (Dindori taluka) to attend a gathering organized by ‘Vadje Classes’ at Raje Banquet Hall. While returning home in their Maruti XL car, the driver reportedly lost control, leading the vehicle off the road and into a well filled with water. The accident took place on Friday night, attracting a large crowd to the scene.

Upon learning of the incident, Tehsildar Mukesh Kamble, Police Inspector Bhagwan Mathure, and Chief Officer Sandeep Chaudhary quickly arrived at the location, accompanied by police personnel, the fire brigade, a disaster management team, and local volunteers. The water-filled well complicated the rescue efforts, but the car was eventually extracted around midnight using two cranes.

During the rescue, the bodies of eight victims were retrieved from the vehicle. A dedicated search operation was initiated to find a young girl who had drowned, and her body was subsequently recovered.

The victims have been identified as Sunil Dattatray Dargode (32), Reshma Sunil Dargode (27), Rakhi alias Gunwanti (10), Madhuri Anil Dargode (13), Shravani Anil Dargode (11), Asha Anil Dargode (32), Shreyash Anil Dargode (11), Srishti Anil Dargode (14), and Samruddhi Rajesh Dargode (7).

An NDRF team also arrived to assist with the operation, which extended late into the night. The Dindori Police have filed a case regarding the incident, and further inquiries are ongoing.
