The victims, identified as 30-year-old Rahul Baban Bhalerao and his 7-year-old nephew Swayam Sachin Bhalerao, were part of a family of five travelling from Mulund in Mumbai to Sangamner in Ahmednagar district. The tragic incident occurred when a stone weighing between 15-20 kg struck their vehicle, resulting in the unfortunate demise of the two individuals.
