BMC Commissioner orders enquiry into doctor’s death

After coming under criticism from the medical fraternity over Dr Amrapurkar’s death, the BMC Commissioner today ordered the Additional Commissioner (Eastern Suburbs) to conduct an enquiry and submit a report on what led to the unfortunate incident and preventive measures that can be taken to avoid such incidents.

Dr Amrapurkar’s body was recovered from a nullah near the Coast Guard office in the Worli area yesterday. The renowned gastroenterologist slipped into an open manhole while wading through water near Elphinston Road Station and was swept away.

Mumbai received 331.4 mm of rainfall on Tuesday, causing extensive water logging and bringing the megapolis to its knees.
