10 Aug
Summary
- Body recovered from sewage chamber identified as 55-year-old Manik Ghatol.
- Postmortem confirms accidental death due to fall and drowning.
- Ongoing road construction may have contributed to the incident.

A tragic incident in Nashik saw the body of 55-year-old Manik Ghatol recovered from a sewage chamber on Sunday morning. The discovery was made by a ragpicker near Saptaranga Society along Peth Road.
Following the recovery, the Mhasrul police initiated an investigation. A postmortem examination definitively concluded that Ghatol's death was accidental, caused by a fall into the chamber and subsequent drowning.
Authorities noted that the section of the road where the manhole is located had been cordoned off due to ongoing construction. This factor, combined with the accidental nature of the fall, has led the police to register the case as an accidental death, with no foul play suspected.
