Two friends died of suffocation after they got locked inside a car in the flooded subway in Malad on Monday night. The deceased have been identified as Irfan Khan, 38 and Gulsad Sheikh, 34.

Khan and Sheikh, residents of Pathanwadi, were headed to a friend's house in Malad West when their vehicle got stuck in the subway around 11:30 pm. They called their friends for help and asked them to inform the fire brigade officials. As they waited for help, water level started rising and their vehicle was submerged. They made several attempts to escape but failed.
