A late-night incident near the Sanjay Gandhi National Park in Borivali East saw a man falling into a nullah on Sunday, leading to a swift rescue operation by local authorities.
Rescue Operation by Dahisar Police
The Dahisar police station team responded promptly to the emergency. After pulling the man out from the water body, they immediately transported him to Babasaheb Ambedkar Hospital in Kandivali for urgent medical attention. Hospital examinations confirmed that the man sustained a fractured hand from the fall.
Investigation into the Circumstances
Police officials have initiated a probe to determine the exact sequence of events. The circumstances leading to his fall are under scrutiny, and investigators are exploring all possibilities, including whether the man was involved in a dispute prior to the incident. A key part of the investigation will be recording the victim's official statement, which will only happen once his health improves sufficiently.
Incident Amidst Political Bandobast
The rescue unfolded against the backdrop of heightened police deployment for the upcoming civic polls. Police personnel were engaged in bandobast duties for political campaign rallies related to the BMC election when the distress call came in, highlighting their dual responsibilities of managing election security and responding to public emergencies.
The incident serves as a reminder of the dangers posed by open nullahs, especially in areas adjacent to forested zones like the Sanjay Gandhi National Park. The police investigation continues to piece together the events of that Sunday night.
