Mumbai: A massive Ganesh idol collapsed during its arrival procession in Bhuleshwar on Saturday, resulting in two deaths and five injuries. Preliminary investigations by the police indicate a possible technical failure in the support system holding the 22-foot-tall idol. The incident occurred when the idol was nearing the pandal, around 50-100 feet away, when it suddenly collapsed from the crane.
The two deceased are Sanket Nevshe, president of Bhuleshwar Raja Sarvajanik Ganeshotsav Mandal, and Brijesh Joshi, an office-bearer. Five others, including two young girls, were injured in the accident. The police are probing the cause of the incident, focusing on the nut-bolt in the support mechanism that reportedly came loose, causing the idol to lose balance and crash down.
Investigations are ongoing to determine if any negligence or technical lapse contributed to the collapse.
