Family of Maharashtra cliff victims urges social media to stop spreading false iPhone rumors

In a heartfelt video, Pallavi Patil, sister of the deceased mother Sangeeta, appealed for an end to viral posts that claim the Maharashtra cliff tragedy stemmed from an unmet iPhone demand. She described how, while retrieving the ashes of her sister, nephew and brother-in-law, she was bombarded with such videos, which deepened the family's anguish. Patil highlighted that the family, already coping with the loss of Kunal, his parents Murlidhar and Sangeeta, and their elder sister Kapil, cannot bear the added distress of misinformation.

She called on social media users and content creators to consider the impact of their posts on the grieving relatives. Police investigations have shifted focus from the iPhone story to deeper family disputes, noting prior incidents involving Kunal and the cliff. The family continues to mourn and seek privacy amid the ongoing speculation.
