Dhayari, 17th September 2024: A ten-year-old boy tragically drowned while attempting to retrieve a cricket ball from a canal in the Garmal area of Vadgaon Dhayari on Monday afternoon (16th September).

The deceased, identified as Rohan Survase (10), was a resident of Lane No. 17, Garmal, Dhayari. A case of sudden death has been registered at the Sinhagad Road Police Station.

According to police reports, Rohan Survase, along with his friends Sairaj Jedhe and Ayaan Nasir Shaikh, was playing cricket near the canal when the ball accidentally fell into the water. Two of the boys entered the canal to retrieve it. However, the strong water current began sweeping them away.

One of the boys who remained onshore started shouting for help. Prajwal Deepak Jamvjal, a passerby, heard the cries and bravely jumped into the canal, managing to rescue one of the drowning boys. Unfortunately, by then, Rohan had already been swept away.

Upon receiving information about the incident, Senior Police Inspector Raghavendra Singh Kshirsagar and Assistant Police Inspector Rahul Yadav, along with other personnel from Sinhagad Road Police Station, rushed to the scene. The police promptly informed the Fire Brigade, who arrived at the accident site shortly after.

Navale Fire Brigade Center chief Prakash Gore, along with drivers Bala Pangare, Kailas Akhade, Balaji Akhade, Sanket Gurav, Rajendra Bhilare, and PMRDA personnel, made extensive efforts to locate the missing boy by throwing ropes into the canal and searching underwater. However, despite their efforts, Rohan’s body had not been found by evening.
