Shortcut route to goa turns nightmare for family.

On a Wednesday night, Rajdas Ranjitadas and his family, comprising two men and two women, became disoriented whilst following GPS directions that mistakenly directed them into the depths of the Shiroli forest. Without mobile network coverage and unable to find their way out, the anxious family remained in their vehicle throughout the night.On Thursday morning, the family discovered a location with limited network coverage and contacted the emergency services helpline number 112. The Khanapur police responded immediately, with assistant sub-inspector KI Badigar and officer Jairam Hanmanawar tracking the family's position through their live location. The officers traversed 31 kilometres through forest areas to reach the stranded vehicle and comfort the family.
