On October 31, 2026, a 50-year-old watchman named Mangesh Shirmale was found dead in a water tank at Vijay Sales in Bhiwandi, after being missing for nearly 30 hours. Shirmale, who had worked at the electronics showroom for five to six years, was last seen leaving the premises at around 2.30 pm on Thursday. CCTV footage showed him walking out of the premises at 2.32 pm, but no recording of him returning was found.
Concerned family members began searching for him upon realizing he had not returned by Thursday evening. On Friday morning, his relatives visited the showroom to inquire about his whereabouts but were told he hadn't reported for duty that day either. After nearly 30 hours of searching, his body was discovered floating in a water tank located in front of the premises.
The police and fire brigade were immediately alerted and retrieved the body. The cause of Shirmale's death is still under investigation by the Bhiwandi City Police, with questions arising about how he ended up in the tank and why his absence went unnoticed for so long.
