Three pedestrians were injured, including one who sustained serious injuries on Saturday, after a recently trimmed tree collapsed on them near Pinnacle Park building at Andheri East. The incident has raised questions on BMC's monsoon preparedness claim. One of the victims, identified as C K Gopalakrishnan (38), underwent surgery on Sunday at Holy Spirit Hospital in Andheri for injury to his spinal cord caused due to the incident. According to his family members, he also sustained multiple fractures on other parts of his body. The other two pedestrians suffered minor injuries and a parked vehicle was also damaged in the incident.

The victim, Gopalakrishnan at around 6.30 pm had stepped out of Logistic Company's office on Mahakali Caves Road where he works and was waiting for an auto to head to Mira Road when the tree came crashing down. Rajan Gupta, an eye-witness, said, "I was standing close by when one big branch fell followed by another branch within seconds. Passersby extricated the badly injured victim and rushed him to a hospital in an auto."
