The incident happened on Sunday evening as the group was returning to Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar from the Pinakeshwar Mahadev temple. The vehicle's brakes failed, leading to the driver losing control and the trolley plunging into a 200-foot gorge, according to a police official.

The victims included two women, Kantabai Narayan Gaike and Kamalabai Shyamrao Jagdale, both from Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar. The injured were initially treated at Bolthan Primary Health Centre and later transferred to Ghati Hospital.
