Bhopal Feb 22 (IANS) A woman was killed and five others severely injured when a car veered off and plunged into a deep gorge in the Anhoni area of Chhindwara district, Madhya Pradesh on Saturday.
The police said that the unfortunate incident occurred approximately 400 km southwest of Bhopal.
The vehicle, carrying devotees returning from a visit to Chauragarh Mahadev in Nagpur, Maharashtra, experienced a critical failure when the rear wheel axle gave way mid-journey.

Among the passengers were Savitri Khapre (52), Pranali (39), Umashankar (46), Tudlabai (38), Naveen Gokhale, and Harshal Gokhale.
Tragically, Savitri Khapre lost her life on the spot. The family was coming back from Chauragarh – a temple of Lord Shiva on high altitude. The incident occurred, according to police, at around 3 pm.
Police said that the local villagers swiftly responded to the scene, and with the assistance of an ambulance, the injured were transported to the district hospital for treatment.
The police have registered a case and sent the deceased’s body for a post-mortem examination.
