On September 5, 2026, a 46-year-old man named Mrutyunjay Dandpani Nayak passed away following a medical emergency while riding a BEST bus from Breach Candy Hospital to Byculla Station in Mumbai. The incident occurred around 7:45 pm near TATA Garden, Mukesh Chowk.
According to the Central Depot Division's incident report, Nayak was traveling on Route A-77/33 (UP) in bus number 7162, operated by SMTATPL.

The bus was subsequently diverted to Nair Hospital for emergency medical care.
Dr. Nabila Loladia pronounced Nayak dead at approximately 8:30 pm at the hospital, even before any medical intervention could be provided, as stated in the report. The incident was promptly reported to BEST authorities.
The transportation company's staff, including SMTATPL's Chief Nursing Delegate BI, Mr. Dabkekar, was handling the situation. The report clearly indicates that the death resulted from a medical emergency, not due to a road accident or any operational issue with the bus service.
