The incident happened at Querim, North Goa, when the rope of the paraglider snapped mid-air, causing Shivani to fall from about 100 feet into a ditch. She was accompanied by the pilot, Suman Nepali, 26, who also died in the crash.
Shivani lived in Vishwakarma Nagar, Nagpur, and was the daughter of Ishwar Dable, a retired nurse from the Super Specialty Hospital. Her body is being brought back to Nagpur via Hyderabad by her father. She is survived by her younger sister.
