Janvi Kanojiya
A 17-month-old child, Janvi Kanojiya, is the youngest victim of the Malad wall collapse incident. Her father, Anil Kanojiya, was inconsolable at the Bhagwati Hospital, while waiting to collect her body. He said on Monday, unlike other days, she was awake till late and playing with her dolls while he was having his dinner. "Suddenly water gushed into the room and before I could catch her, she was washed away. Later, her lifeless body was recovered. I can't believe they are conducting a post-mortem on my daughter who was alive few hours back," he said. His wife is undergoing treatment at Jogeshwari Trauma Centre while his brother, Sonu Harish Kanojiya, 23, is admitted to Shatabdi Hospital with a leg injury.
Sanjika Surve
Krishna Surve who works as a guard at Mind Space, Malad, was returning home around 11 pm when he got call from his 15-year-old daughter, Sanjika. That was the last time he spoke to her. Due to the rain, he didn't get a public vehicle so he was walking back home. On his way, a neighbour called him and told him about the incident. When he reached home, he found Sanjika was missing. "She wanted to study further. In the morning, she had gone to fill college forms," he said. Sanjika was the second oldest of his three daughters, including Sayali, 19, and Sakshi, 7, who are undergoing treatment at Shatabdi Hospital with their mother Sanjivani, 41.
