Mumbai Woman Dies After Falling Into Drain During Heavy Rains, Probe Launched

Authorities have initiated a high-level investigation into the death of Vimal Anil Gaikwad, who drowned in an overflowing drain in Andheri.

Vimal Anil Gaikwad, 45, fell into an overflowing manhole near MIDC Gate No. 8 in Andheri East during heavy rains on September 25.
She was the sole breadwinner of her family, and her husband has lodged a complaint seeking justice for her death.
Mumbai Police have filed a case against the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) and a contractor for negligence.

Heavy rains paralyzed Mumbai, submerging roads and rail tracks, stranding commuters, and diverting flights.
