New Delhi: After the shocking video of a family swept away at a Lonavala waterfall, another tragic incident has emerged in Pune. A young boy, barely in his teens, tragically lost his life attempting a dangerous stunt. A boy named Swapnil Dhawde who is on a trip with his gym friends, jumps into fast-flowing water at Tamini Ghat. He tries to climb the rocks but can't because they are slippery.

The man, identified as a trek leader, was with a group of 20 people, comprising friends and family, at a well-known picnic spot. During the outing, he chose to dive into the waterfall, believing he could swim back safely. His friends stay calm until the boy grabs a rock but then gets swept away. The incident happened on Saturday. The body of the Swapnil was found by the authorities on Monday after searching for three days.

In the Lonavala incident, seven family members were swept away in the swollen waterfall. Rescuers and divers have found four bodies, including one of the two missing children. They are still searching for the others. 

In the video, the family is seen holding onto each other, trying to resist the water flow, but their efforts are futile. They are pushed into the water one by one, while others on the side watch helplessly, unable to offer assistance.

The incident occurred at approximately 1:30 pm, prompting a immediate response from locals and police equipped with ropes and trekking gear. By nightfall, three bodies had been recovered, with plans to continue search efforts at daybreak.
