Their Maruti Ertiga vehicle lost control owing to dense fog, drove off the road, and eventually fell into a valley close to Madki village, according to an initial investigation. Chikhaldara police arrived on the area as soon as they were informed and started the rescue operation.
The deceased passengers have been named as Sheikh Salman Sheikh Chand, 28, Vanparathi Koteshwar Rao, 27, Shiv Krishna Adanki, 30, and Vaibhav Laxman Gulli, 29.
The remaining four inmates, J Shyamlinga Reddy, 30, Suman Katika, 29, Yogesh Yadav, 30, and Harish Muthineni, 27, all incurred injuries and were subsequently taken to the Achalpur sub-district hospital for treatment.
