“There is a special consideration and the BMC will pay Rs 10 lakh to the parents of the victims,” said Assistant Municipal Commissioner Chakrapani Alle. On March 18, the two brothers, aged four and five, were found dead in the water tank at Maharshi Karv Park in Wadala. The RAK Marg police had filed an accidental death report regarding the incident. According to authorities, the family resides on a footpath outside St Joseph’s High School.

The situation came to light when the parents approached the Matunga police to report their missing sons, Arjun Vangri, 4, and Ankush Vangri, 5. During the court proceedings, the parents disclosed that they do not possess a bank account, prompting the court to instruct them to open one within the next 48 hours. After Ankush Vangri and Manoj Vangri’s bodies were found on March 18, the Bombay High Court took suo-moto cognisance of the matter and slammed the BMC for failing to cover the water tank.
