Two days after a 25-year-old man fell into a stream at Malad East, his body was found several kilometres away in a nullah at Malad West amid Friday’s downpour.
Chandan Sahu, the deceased, used to live at Kranti Nagar in Kandivali East and worked with a movers and packers agency. On Wednesday, he had ventured with friends to hilly regions near the Sanjay Gandhi National Park in Malad East. Police said he was trying to cross a stream when he slipped and fell inside. Before friends could pull him out, he was swept away. His friends searched for him before informing the Kurar police. Officers said the force of the water was very strong.
The Dindoshi fire brigade was summoned and a search operation was launched. Residents of Kranti Nagar as well as the Kurar police joined in the search operation. But Sahu was not found until Friday.
Officers of the Bangur Nagar police station confirmed that Sahu’s body was found in a nullah near Mith Chowki on Friday. His brother identified the body positively. It has been sent for an autopsy.
