On March 22, Israr Khan was riding on the WEH near Andheri when an overhead cable wire snapped, and came flying down to slit his throat. He died, while the pillion rider, Ram Bhavan Pal, survived with minor injuries. The bike was dragged along for 50 metres before it halted.

Even as the police investigate the responsibility of local cable operators, who hook up wires at a venture without bothering for safety covers, residents feel a more pressing question needs to be answered. Why has no action been taken regarding the remaining wires?
