Rescuers are searching for a renowned gastroenterologist who apparently fell into a manhole on Tuesday evening as heavy rains flooded Mumbai, according to media reports.
Dr Deepak Amarapurkar, 58, who works at Bombay Hospital, was last seen near Elphinstone Road station, where his driver had dropped him off, PTI reported.
A police officer said, “According to some eyewitnesses, Dr Amarapurkar fell into a manhole and the police recovered his umbrella from near it. Some people heard his voice but by the time anybody could react, the doctor had fallen.”
Manholes in Elphinstone, Dadar and nearby areas were being checked by firefighters, police officers and disaster management personnel.
A missing person case has been registered.
India is cruel and cursed land for hundreds of million people. It is a common occurrence that many children die after falling into bore well holes. Recently some sixty children died in govt. run hospital in City of Gorakhpur for want of oxygen, hundreds of farmers have committed suicide for their inability to pay back loans, Sadhus who are charlatans have raped their followers and go scot free.
But, then politicians , chief ministers and current prime minister Modi himself do every thing to protect damned Cows!
Perhaps, this is the law of Karma!
