With heavy rains lashing Maharashtra for the past few days, most water bodies are overflowing. Near Udgir, their vehicle was caught in floodwater around midnight. While Soheb managed to escape, three women and the driver were swept away.

Before being washed away, Afrina, who has young children, made a phone call to her husband Saleem, asking him to take care of the children. Soon after, her phone switched off.

Family members and locals have urged the Telangana government to coordinate with Maharashtra authorities to trace the missing persons and bring them back safely.
