The body of a Hyderabad man who fell into a waterfall at Malshej Ghat in Thane district has been recovered.
According to the police official, A 29-year-old Abhishek Rawatka, part of a group of four mountaineers who were proceeding towards Malshej Ghat on August 12, fell 60-70 feet below into the Kalu waterfall, making it difficult for his body to be retrieved.
"Collector Ashok Shingare sent out a message through the district disaster management cell asking rescue teams to help in retrieving the body. Murbad panchayat chairperson Milind Gharat contacted Kolad-based Wilder West Adventure Rescue team headed by Mahesh Sanap," he said.
The team reached the spot at 7am on Saturday and managed to retrieve the body of Rawatkar.
