Mumbai police have arrested one individual in connection with the deaths of two young men who succumbed to suspected suffocation due to a chemical leak inside a public toilet in the city. Following the Ganpati immersion festival, about 8-10 members of a group dined together near the site around 2:30 am. Two youths reportedly sought to use the restroom but were found unconscious there.

Emergency services were alerted, and the youths were rushed to the hospital, where they were pronounced dead. An investigation revealed an odor at the scene, indicating chemical discharge from a nearby electroplating factory. The Mumbai Pollution Control Board has installed a monitoring device to track air quality at the location.

The incident occurred near the Ram Mandir public toilet in Mumbai's East zone, close to the Parsi Panchayat Gate and Mrunaltai Bridge.
