Just a week after a Mulund resident slipped and died during a trek in Panvel, on Sunday a 20-year-old boy from Byculla lost his life in a similar way at Raigad Fort in Pune. The incident happened when he was trying to pick up a portable charger, which fell off his hand and slid towards the edge of a cliff. However, locals and the other trekkers, with whom he had gone, found his body and rushed him to the nearest hospital where he was declared dead. A case of accidental death has been registered at Velhe police station.

Went with 16 trekkers
Deceased Anurag Rakshe had gone to Raigad Fort with 16 other trekkers. “After they reached the Fort in the wee hours of February 14, they entered it from Pali Gate. While clicking pictures of the sunrise, Anurag reached a point named Padmavati Machi for a better view, but suddenly his charger slipped from his hand and slid to the edge of the cliff,” said an officer from Velhe police station.
