The tragic incident occurred at a spot where there was no bridge or boat available for crossing. Eyewitnesses reported that the devotees were holding each other's hands tightly as they traversed the river, united in faith. At least eight devotees were swept away in strong currents of Chambal river in Chilavad village in Madhya Pradesh's Shivpuri district on Saturday. The devotees were heading towards Kaila Devi temple in Rajasthan. As per the police, while crossing the river, the group was attacked by a crocodile and there was a panic among them. The strong currents of the river proved to be too much for eight of the devotees who were swept away in the river, police said. Despite the valiant efforts of local divers, only two bodies were recovered by noon, with the third found later in the afternoon, while five more individuals remain missing, their fate unknown.
