Navi Mumbai railway authorities installed barricades atop Parsik Hill after a minor's car crashed into the tracks, plunging about 70 feet below. The Belapur police suggested the barricades to prevent future accidents. The spot is popular among youngsters and couples who make reels there, raising safety concerns. The Navi Mumbai Municipal Corporation had prepared the barricades before the railways intervened.
A railway official stated the decision was made following the police's suggestion, as the spot falls under their jurisdiction. The incident occurred on September 24, when a 17-year-old Honda City driver lost control of his car after accelerating too much, landing between tracks and narrowly avoiding overhead wires. The driver sustained head and hand injuries. Police booked the student who allegedly used another person's documents to buy the second-hand car.
