According to police officials, on April 25, three students of Nutan Maharashtra Engineering College went for an outing at Jadhavwadi dam in Maval area. While they were clicking pictures, Rahane fell in the dam water. Since he did not know how to swim, both his friends ventured into the water to save him. However, due to the water current, all three started drowning.
A NDRF team has been deployed there for 24x7 service. They immediately rushed to the spot and rescued the two friends. However, they failed to rescue Rahane. After an extensive search, the NDRF team recovered his dead body from the dam water. His family has been informed of the tragic incident, and his body has been sent for post-mortem examination, said police officials.
