The five people were returning home in a car after celebrating Dr. Advaith’s birthday party. They were depending on google maps hoping for a perfect path. Their journey was really difficult due to heavy rain and bad light. However, they didn’t realise that google maps was leading them through the wrong route.

Soon, the local residents and the fire force started the rescue operations. Unfortunately, they couldn’t save Dr. Advaith and Dr. Ajmal. But, they were able to save the remaining three.
