What was meant to be a fun water sport turned fatal for a 16-year old, who breathed his last a day after an accident during the banana boat ride at Juhu beach. A senior inspector said that when the banana boat toppled, Nikhil Balasaheb Unde didn’t let go of the rope attached to it in fear and came under it. He had taken in a lot of water by the time he was rescued, he added.
