Mumbai: A disturbing video has surfaced from Andheri railway station showing a man trapped between a local train and the platform, triggering panic among commuters as bystanders rushed to rescue him.

According to a video shared by ‘Duniya Ke Khalesh’, the man was seen wedged in the narrow gap between the train and the platform. While the lower half of his body appeared to be under the train, his upper body and torso were stuck in the gap, with the man lying face-up as people gathered around in shock.

The visuals show the train standing still, indicating that the motorman had likely been alerted to the situation in time. Blood stains were also visible on the platform, reportedly after the man struck his head during the incident.

In the video, the man can be seen desperately attempting to pull himself free while commuters and railway staff cautiously try to rescue him without causing further injuries. Several people are seen coordinating efforts to slowly pull him out from the gap as panic spread across the platform.

No official statement regarding the incident or the condition of the man had been issued by authorities till the time of going to press.

This story comes to light a week after a man was spotted dead under a Mumbai local train, triggering panic and chaos among commuters at the station. The incident reportedly took place at around 12.05 pm.

According to a post shared by the ‘Mirabhyandarofficial’ page on Instagram, the man allegedly came under the local train at the station. Visuals from the spot show the lifeless body of the man under the train with only his legs visible. Visuals also show shocked commuters gathered around the platform.

Incidents like these once again highlight the dangers associated with crossing railway tracks or attempting risky acts near moving trains. Railway authorities have repeatedly urged commuters to remain cautious and follow safety rules while travelling on the suburban railway network.

Mumbai: After the tragic death of a family of four in Mumbai’s Pydhonie last month, a 15-year-old boy died, and three children fell ill after reportedly consuming watermelon in Chhattisgarh’s Janjgir-Champa district. This case comes just within a month when a family of four members of the Dokadia family died on April 26.

the deceased, identified as Akhilesh Dhivar (15), while the other children are Shri Dhivar (4), Pintu Dhivar (12), and Hitesh Dhivar (13), had come to their maternal uncle’s house in Ghurkot village after attending a wedding.

Preliminary reports suggested that the children had consumed cut watermelon on Sunday evening, however, a few hours later, the 15-year-old Akhilesh developed vomiting, diarrhoea, and breathing difficulties. Not just him, similar symptoms were also later seen in the other three children.

As their condition worsened, they were rushed to the hospital. Speaking on the case, Civil Surgeon Dr S Kujur told the daily that Akhilesh was declared brought dead on arrival, while the other three were admitted to the emergency ward.

The doctor suspected food poisoning, possibly due to contaminated cut watermelon. He said the fruit was cut in the morning hours and was eaten several hours later.

Currently, in the case, Akhilesh’s body has been sent for post-mortem, while the other watermelon at the house has been sent for laboratory testing to the food safety department. The report added that the exact cause of the death and illness would be known only when these reports are in.

Mumbai: The Economic Offences Wing Mumbai has filed a C Summary report before the Esplanade Court in one of the FIR registered in connection with the alleged ₹122.85 crore fraud related to the Solar Krishi Urja Vahini 2.0 tender process. The EOW had earlier registered four separate cases against several companies and their directors for allegedly cheating the Maharashtra government by submitting forged bank guarantees to secure contracts under the scheme.

The case had initially been registered at Nirmal Nagar Police Station following allegations that officials and private companies colluded to commit large-scale corruption in the tender process. The investigation was later transferred to the Economic Offences Wing.

According to officials, the alleged scam involving nearly ₹125 crore came to light in this year, after it was discovered that forged bank guarantees and fabricated documents were allegedly used to obtain government contracts under the Solar Krishi Urja Vahini 2.0 scheme. Four separate FIRs were subsequently registered at Nirmal Nagar Police Station in February.

One of the FIRs was registered against Onix Renewable Limited, Onix IPP Pvt Ltd, Divyesh M. Savaliya, Richee Bansal, Kashyap Patel, and Rahul Panhale. However, the EOW has now submitted a C Summary report before the Esplanade Court in connection with this particular case.

Investigators have alleged that Rahul Panhale, Assistant General Manager in the Renewable Energy Department of Maharashtra State Electricity Distribution Company Limited (MSEDCL), knowingly accepted forged bank guarantees and other fake documents as genuine and helped the accused companies secure government contracts. Officials further alleged that Panhale, along with other accused persons, caused a loss of nearly ₹125 crore to the state government through similar fraudulent practices involving multiple companies.

Police sources said that during the probe into an earlier ₹100 crore corruption case transferred to the EOW in January, investigators uncovered evidence suggesting that Panhale had allegedly extended similar assistance to several other companies, resulting in further financial losses to the government.
