MUMBAI : A four-year-old young lady died after a big outdoor talker, installed for a Republic daylight programme in a lane at Dr Babasaheb Ambedkar Nagar in Vikhroli, drop on her on Monday.According to the Vikhroli police, after the flag-hoisting ceremony on the lane, a speaker had been mounted on a three-legged stand and was playing patriotic songs. It was connected by a common power cable to another speaker placed across the road. At around 11:30am, a man carrying a bundle of clothes walked past and the bundle got caught in the wire, causing the heavy speakers to topple. One of the speakers fell on the child, Janhavi Sonkar who was walking behind the man, heading to a nearby park.The police said that Janhavi, who lived with her parents, uncle and grandmother in the area, was rushed to a nearby hospital and later shifted to Godrej Memorial Hospital in Vikhroli, where she was declared dead. After a post-mortem at Rajawadi Hospital in Ghatkopar, her last rites were performed by family members.“My daughter had just secured admission to a CBSE school and was eagerly waiting to start classes in June,” Jahnavi’s father, Rajesh Kumar Sonkar, a mobile phone repairer, told the police. “On Monday, Republic Day songs were being played near my house and the local Devi Puja Mandal at the Jay Bharat Devi Mandir and even called the newly elected corporator, Chandrashekhar Jadhav for flag hoisting,” said Rajesh, adding that their joint family had been living in that locality for 35 years.“We have been requesting the local mandal to not keep the heavy speakers outside our house as they disturbed us, but the activists of the mandal came to fight us. Now, I have lost my daughter due to them,” said Janhavi’s mother Manju Sonkar. “It’s a small lane. Besides, the speakers were not even fixed properly and fell because the wire was just lightly pulled,” said Manju.Each of the speakers weighed around 30 kilograms, said a police officer. “Unfortunately, the girl was crushed under it. We have registered a case against Vinod Parmar, the president of the mandal and Sayyad Chindi whose bundle of clothes got stuck in the wire,” said the police officer. They have been booked under sections 106 (causing death by negligence) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita.
