In two separate instances, three boys have drowned. In an incident on June 13, a 15-year-old boy named Ved Turbhekar tragically lost his life in Chembur after falling into a well and getting electrocuted by an electric pump installed there. Turbhekar, who reportedly jumped into the well for a swim, succumbed to the electric shock caused by the pump’s current.

Despite immediate efforts by his family to rush him to multiple hospitals, Turbhekar could not be revived and was declared dead. The incident has sparked outrage, leading to the arrest of Anant Mahulkar, Dayaram Mahulkar, and Hariram Mahulkar, owners of nearby hotels, under sections 304 (culpable homicide not amounting to murder) and 34 (common intention) by the RCF police. Investigations are currently ongoing to ascertain accountability in this tragic event.
