Visuals showed the woman crying and screaming in pain as an official assisted her out of the gorge. The official was seen helping her amid the tough weather conditions, holding the rope used to bring her out. Other officials were also seen contributing towards her rescue.

According to reports, the incident occurred after Kureshi and her friends decided to stop for a photo session on their return from Thoseghar waterfall, which had been shut for tourists due to heavy rains and winds.

Reportedly, the Satara administration had banned tourist visits to the waterfall owing to the challenging weather conditions. With their initial plan cancelled, the group visited Borne Ghat instead. While taking pictures, Kureshi slipped from the edge and fell into the gorge.

Her friends immediately contacted the police, who initiated a prompt rescue operation. Local volunteers and home guards quickly responded to the distress call. Homeguard Abhijeet Mandave led the rescue team through the difficult terrain and successfully retrieved Kureshi. She was then taken to a private hospital for treatment of her injuries.
