Monday July 14 afternoon, a 70-year-old woman, Kalpana Bhattacharya, resident of Hiranandani Powai, was swept into the sea off the Marine Drive promenade during high tide time.

The senior citizen had left home in the morning and had gone to Marine Drive, maybe to enjoy the high tide in South Mumbai. According to newspaper reports, some hawkers saw her struggling in the sea at noon time. There were a couple of lifeguards present but they could not prevent her from getting washed away, because of the strong tides. Her body was taken out a few hours later.
