A decaying carcass of a male Indian Ocean humpback dolphin washed ashore on Versova beach on Wednesday night. "Around 9.30 pm, I got a call from one of my volunteers informing me about a big fish that had washed ashore Versova beach," environmentalist and lawyer Afroz Shah told mid-day, adding, "On my way there, I immediately informed the Versova police station, BMC's K West ward and the mangrove cell of the forest department. When we reached the spot, we realised the dolphin's carcass was in a decomposed state as there was lot of foul odour."
