According to Karwad Police Station officer Lekhraj Sihag, businessman Hari Bhandari, a resident of Shantinath Nagar near Pratapnagar Royalty Naka, was on his way to Radha Rani Temple near Mandalnath at around 11 a.m. He was accompanied by his son's in-law: Sampat Lahoti, his wife Urmila Lahoti, and Suraj, wife of N.D. Mandhana. Hari Bhandari was driving the car, with Sampat seated beside him and the two women in the back seat. Due to heavy rainfall in the morning, water had accumulated on the roads, and there was a strong flow of water across a stretch of kutcha road. Despite the visible current, Bhandari attempted to drive the car through it. The car lost balance, overturned, and began to drift with the water. All passengers tried to escape by opening the car doors. Locals nearby managed to pull Suraj out safely and attempted to rescue Sampat Lahoti as well. However, his hand slipped, and he was swept away by the current. Hari Bhandari and Urmila Lahoti also got trapped and were carried away with the vehicle. The police were immediately informed, and locals assisted in the rescue. After considerable effort, the car and two bodies - Bhandari and Urmila, a resident of Surat, Gujarat - were recovered and sent to the mortuary. Meanwhile, divers were deployed to trace Sampat Lahoti. After nearly five hours of search, his body was also recovered....
