On Day 2 of the incessant rain the city has been getting, the fire brigade finally managed to recover the body of a 24-year-old, who had drowned in Sai Bangurda lake in Powai's Bhambur village, after two unsuccessful search operations. Suraj Sawant's body was recovered around 5.30 pm, after it was found floating, and sent to Agrawal Hospital in Mulund.

Unsuccessful searches
Fire officials told mid-day that they had received a distress call late on Tuesday. Though a team was sent to the spot immediately, it could not recover the body due to the downpour and darkness. At 11 am yesterday, a unit from the Flood Relief Team searched the lake in boats, but in vain. Ultimately, it resurfaced in the evening.
Until Wednesday night, the Mulund police were doing the panchnama. Despite attempts, the investigating officer remained unavailable.
