The same day Chunabhatti police station's head constable Ishwar Gawade got severely injured because of a pothole, another constable landed in the hospital, thanks to a gaping crater. The constable, identified as Anil Shelke, 40, suffered a fracture in his left shoulder after his motorbike's tyre burst due to a pothole in Vikhroli.

Speaking to mid-day, Shelke said, "I work for the Mankhurd traffic division. On Wednesday, after finishing work, I was on my way home. It was raining heavily, and I was on my bike. When I reached the Vikhroli flyover, my bike fell into a pothole. I was unable to see the pothole because a car was ahead of me."
