In a sad and shocking case, a woman and her daughter died after falling into a flooded nullah (steep narrow valley) while clicking selfies in Madhya Pradesh's Mandsaur district. The incident took place at 7.30 am yesterday.

As per NDTV reports, RD Gupta, a professor of Physics at the government college in Mandsaur along with wife Bindu Gupta, 48, and daughter Ashriti, 22, had gone to see a flooded nullah near their house.

The family was clicking selfies when a part of the culvert collapsed and the mother-daughter duo fell into the flooded nullah. With quick action, their bodies were later recovered, NDTV further reported.

"Local residents and cops swung into action, but despite efforts the mother-daughter duo couldn't be rescued alive. Both bodies were later recovered from the nullah," Mandsaur district superintendent of police Hitesh Chaudhary told media.

With the incessant rain across the state, major rivers like Narmada, Kshipra, Betwa, Tapti, Tawa, Chambal and Parwati are overflowing.
