Man dies after accidentally falling into old well in Borivali
Earlier last week, a 42-year-old Tejas Tawde died after falling into a packed well in Borivali’s Babhai Naka. Police said Tawade, a resident of Virar, was celebrating India’s T20 World Cup win with his friends in Borivli on Sunday. Tawde, along with his friends, went to buy Chinese food at a restaurant.
A police officer, while briefing about the incident, said, “Tawde and his friend gave the order and were waiting. Tawade wanted to go to the bathroom, but the restaurant did not have any facilities. He then crossed the road in the dark and accidentally fell into a well.”
The well is too old, and it was covered with grills. But a part of the grill was broken, and it was covered with leaves. Tawade didn’t realise that there was a well, and he fell into it, said police, adding that rescue efforts were made to pull him out alive; however, he had died upon falling.
Furthermore, Corporator Shiva Shetty, while expressing concern about the incident, said, ‘I rushed to the spot, but he drowned. The locals tried to help him but failed to do it because the water level was too deep. I rushed to the fire brigade at Don Bosco, but all the fire officers were busy. Somehow, they arranged a team. They arrived at the spot and pulled Tawde out. We rushed him in an ambulance, but he was declared dead before admission.'
