Two brothers and their cousin from Malad, riding three-up on a bike, died after their vehicle allegedly slipped and fell from a bridge at Boisar on Tuesday. The police said the three had gone to Boisar to sell the Indian flag on the occasion of Republic Day and the bike slipped on the road,  throwing them off a bridge, when they were returning home. Their family, however, has alleged that a truck hit the bike, causing the accident.

The deceased have been identified as Sunny Pawar, 22, and Karan Pawar, 20, and their cousin Ayli Chavan, 18, all residents of Malwani, Malad West. The Vartak Nagar police, Boisar, have registered an Accidental Death Report and are investigating the matter further.
