In the Panvel city of Navi Mumbai, a Dahi Handi celebration in Line Ali turned tragic on Saturday when an electrically charged wire fell into rainwater, injuring four people. The incident, organized by Asthan-Jadhav, occurred when the wire snapped and fell into a rainwater pool, causing a current to spread through the water. The injured, including two nine-year-old children, are currently recovering with stable conditions.
Police have registered an FIR against the organizers under specific sections of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita.
In a separate incident in Airoli, a 34-year-old man named Govinda Swapnil Sadanand Navar died after a human pyramid collapsed during a Dahi Handi event. The collapse happened when a Govinda, attempting to give a ceremonial salute, slipped while climbing a ladder and caused the formation to lose balance. The human pyramid then fell, resulting in injuries to three others and Navar's untimely death.
Police have registered an accidental death report and initiated an investigation to determine the exact circumstances leading to the collapse.
