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.

The police have registered an accidental death case.
