Four people, including a 12-year-old boy, died in multiple accidents that took place in Mumbai this week.  

The boy, identified as Amit Chauhan, had accompanied his family to an artificial pond in Ketki Pada in Dahisar (East) for Chhath Puja on Friday morning. Realising that they had forgotten to carry milk with them for the rituals, the family asked Amit to buy a packet from a nearby shop. When he was on his way to the shop, Amit was struck by a dumper near Crescent Tower, police sources said. The child sustained serious injuries and was rushed to Shatabdi Hospital, where doctors declared him dead. The dumper driver fled the scene but was later apprehended by the Dahisar Police. “We have arrested the dumper driver,” said Senior Inspector Ashok Honmane of Dahisar Police Station.
