A Dahisar resident lost his life on Wednesday after a part of the cladding around the mural of Mahatma Gandhi on the eastern facade of Churchgate station fell on him due to heavy cyclonic winds and rain. The deceased, identified as Madhukar Narvekar, 62, was returning home after completing an inquiry regarding his provident fund when the incident occurred.

When Madhukar was passing by Churchgate station around 12.20 pm, a part of the cladding around the 81 ft x 54 ft mural fell on him. He was rushed to the G T hospital. "The patient suffered injuries to his head and chest. The deceased was bleeding profusely from his head. We tried to resuscitate him for an hour but were unable to revive him. He had developed internal bleeding in his brain, which led to his death. The body has been sent for post-mortem," said a doctor on-call at GT hospital. According to Western Railway, two others suffered very minor injuries in the incident.
