Ashok Vellai, the father of a nine-year-old boy who drowned in the swimming pool of a Virar-based resort recently, has filed a complaint of negligence against his son’s karate institute and the resort.

Susheel Narkar learnt not to use railway tracks as a short-cut the hard way. On Wednesday, when the 25-year-old from Virar decided to save a few minutes to get from platform 5 to 6 by crossing the railway lines, Railway Protection Force personnel were waiting for him. They took his cellphone, got in touch with his father and asked him to come over to Dadar station.
