Vasai witnessed the tragic death of a 27-year-old woman, Lalita Rajesh Sathe, who succumbed to snakebite while sleeping at her home on September 6. This marks the second snakebite fatality in the area within a month. Sathe lived with her family in Kajupada Rajavali area of Vasai East. Her family rushed her to Sir D.M. Petit Hospital at Vasai-Virar Municipal Corporation upon realizing she had been bitten by a snake.
Unfortunately, doctors declared her dead during treatment. The Valiv Police Station registered a case of accidental death following the complaint by her husband. The surge in snake activity coincides with the ongoing monsoon season, leading to increased snake sightings and movement across the region.
