A 44-year-old resident of Ghatkopar died when he fell into a nullah next to the LBS Road on Thursday night. While his family has blamed the BMC contractor, who hasn't put barricaded the nullah properly for negligence, the police claim Ankush Gadge was drunk.

On Friday morning, the family of Gadge, residents of Parshiwadi, went to Ghatkopar police station, saying he hadn't returned home on Thursday night. They said he had gone out for some work, but was not answering his phone. While they were giving details about him, the police received a message about a body found in Mukund nullah. As the description of the body matched Gadge, the police asked his family to go to the site to identify it. They identified him. In the post mortem it was found that he had died of head injuries. Gadge, who worked in a marketing firm, is survived by his wife and two kids.
