A 20-year-old balloon seller died after a helium gas cylinder exploded in Malwani last night.
The incident occurred at a time when Manish Awsare was refilling the cylinder, said an officer from Malwani police station.
Manish and his father Mahadev had gone to blow balloons at an engagement ceremony at a lounge near Daana Pani beach in Malad West.
Sources from Malwani police station said, Manish accidentally overfilled the cylinder because he could not check the pressure due to a malfunctioned metre.
