Pune girl taking selfie falls into 60-foot gorge, rescued; netizens ask 'why is she crying now, idhar bhi reel banana hai kya'
Chandigarh, August 5
A woman, 29, fell down a deep gorge at Borane Ghat in Maharashtra while trying to click a selfie. She was later rescued by Home Guard staff and a few local residents. She was with a group of people from Pune to Thoseghar waterfall.
While taking a selfie at Borane Ghat, Nasreen Amir Qureshi from Warje, Pune, slipped down a 60-feet-deep gorge.
A video of the incident, showing Nasreen falling while attempting to take a selfie, and then being pulled by with the help of a rope has gone viral on social media. The incident has, however, sparked a discussion as to why she was there amid heavy rains.
Why is she crying now? Idhar bhi reel banana hai kya?

Violation of an advisory, breaking laws is way to fame. Treat her at a government hospital for physical injuries followed by treatment for her selfie addiction and recover cost from her family. Once well, community service for a month with no breaks traffic warden etc

Bravo to the Home Guard for saving her with her ear popping screams. Why was she not booked for endangering her own life.
