A business development strategist, who recently slipped into a partially covered manhole at Carter road in suburban Bandra and fractured his leg, has slapped a legal notice on the Municipal Corporation of Greater Mumbai (MCGM) seeking Rs 1.5 crore damages for its alleged negligence.

51-year-old Vijay Hingorani fell into the gutter after slipping from a partially covered manhole near Otters Club on November 29 last year and fractured his leg. He claimed that because the manhole was not covered completely, he accidental fell into the gutter and broke his leg.
