Almost an entire family tragically died after they tried to save their siblings who drowned 'while taking a selfie'.

A 14-year-old girl was among the six family members who are said to have died while visiting the Ramdaha Waterfall near District Korea, India.

The bodies were later identified as Shraddha Singh, 14, Himanshu Singh, 18, Shweta Singh, 22, Abhay Singh, 22, Rishabh Singh, 24 and Ratnesh Singh, 26.

Surekha Singh, 22, was the only family member to survive the tragic accident.

An eye witness claims that the two teenagers went to take a selfie in the waterfall. The incident occurred on Sunday (August 28), while three of the bodies were found the following day.

District Korea

Korea district collector Kuldeep Sharma said that after the post-mortem, the bodies were handed over to family members.

"A rescue operation was carried out. The bodies of six people have been recovered. All were residents of Madhya Pradesh’s Singrauli," said Sharma.

Yogendra Singh, a resident of Gharauli, was part of the family, who sadly lost his two sons, a son-in-law and three nephews and nieces, NSBB News reports.

He says that Ratnesh, his eldest son, who recently completed his MBA, was on the verge of joining a multinational company after receiving a job offer.

22-year-old Abhay was about to take admission in Bhopal for MTech. Himanshu, 18, was also a student of DPS Nigahi.

According to witnesses, the two sisters entered the water in order to take a photograph, but got into trouble when one of them lost their footing. Family members then entered the water while holding hands, to try and help, but sadly got into trouble themselves in the deep water.

Police said the group entered the water despite a sign warning visitors not to bathe in the water, The Sun reports.

The tragic incident has happened just less than six months since three young men, from Umaria district of Madhya Pradesh, drowned in the same spot during a picnic.

UNILAD has contacted Ramdaha Waterfall authorities for comment.
