MP News: Woman Falls 400 Feet to Her Death While Taking Photo at Rewa's Kyoti Waterfall

MP News : A tragic incident occurred at Kyoti Waterfall in Rewa district where a woman fell 400 feet to her death while attempting to take a photograph. The woman, identified as Vartika Patel, had come to visit the waterfall with her husband, Saurabh Patel, and other family members.

Details of the Incident

Saurabh Patel, an advocate at the Prayagraj High Court, narrated the events leading to the accident. "We went out to explore on Friday. At the waterfall, we started taking each other's pictures. Vartika first took my photos, and then I began taking hers. She moved close to the edge to pose, setting her dupatta aside. As she took a step back without looking, I yelled at her to watch out, but it was too late. She slipped and fell."

Search and Recovery Operation

The search operation to find Vartika began on Friday evening but had to be halted due to darkness. The operation resumed on Saturday morning. A member of the State Disaster Emergency Response Force (SDERF) descended the cliff using a rope and retrieved the body.

Police Statement

Additional SP Vivek Lal confirmed the incident, stating, "The woman was standing at the edge of the waterfall when she slipped and fell, resulting in her tragic death."

Aftermath

The body was sent for post-mortem and subsequently handed over to the family. The incident has cast a pall of gloom over the Patel family, who had recently celebrated Vartika and Saurabh's wedding just three months ago.

This tragic accident serves as a stark reminder of the dangers of taking photographs in risky locations. The local authorities have urged visitors to exercise caution and prioritize safety while enjoying the natural beauty of the area.
