Pune: Sahil, a hardworking young man who rose from poverty, bought his own \u2018Thar\u2019 and ran multiple momo stalls in Pune. He had gone to Konkan for the first time with his close friends. But when contact was lost the next day, Sahil\u2019s elder brother and villagers searched the entire Tamhini Ghat area. The car had plunged so deep into a valley that it was impossible to see with the naked eye. Eventually, with the help of a drone, the vehicle was located \u2014 and six families were shattered by the heartbreaking discovery. The entire Kopre village and Uttamnagar were enveloped in grief.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The six friends from Kopre village had left for Konkan around 11:30 PM on Monday (17th) in a Thar (MH-12 YN 8004). By Tuesday morning, not a single call reached home. When repeated attempts failed, their families rushed to Uttamnagar Police Station and filed a missing person report.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Police began tracking CCTV footage and mobile locations. Pune and Mangaon police, along with Raigad and Mulshi disaster management teams, conducted an extensive search but found nothing. Finally, on Thursday, a drone-assisted search located the Thar deep inside a gorge after the first difficult bend past Kondeghar village in Tamhini Ghat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
