Man Dies After Falling Into Manhole During Heavy Rainfall in Mumbai

Mumbai: A man died after being swept into an open manhole in Mumbai amid heavy rains, an official said on Thursday. The incident occurred in the Chandivali area, where waterlogging apparently concealed the uncovered manhole.

Fire brigade and civic disaster management teams conducted a search and operation and the man's body was recovered on Thursday, he said.

Deputy Mayor Sanjay Ghadi said the civic body will file a case against the contractor, holding him responsible for "homicide."
