One may be tempted to call the Vashi bridge, connecting Navi Mumbai and Mankhurd, a suicide magnet considering the number of people who attempt to end their lives there, but a handful of individuals and cops are putting up spirited efforts to save it from infamy. As they wait for a favourable response to their requests for safety nets on both sides of the bridge, the Vashi police have formed a team of 45 fishermen from Vashi Gaon for rescue operations.
Mahesh Sutar is the star of the 45-member team of fishermen. He has saved 30 people from certain death so far
