- On Sept 25, during heavy rain, Vimal Gaikwad fell into the drain and lost her life
- In response, civic chief Bhushan Gagrani appointed high-level committee to probe her death
- The panel has blamed MMRCL and L&T for open drain; places partial onus on its K East ward

The report, however, also criticises K East ward officials for lacking vigilance during the red alert, given that it was a major road.
