A 22-year-old McDonald’s delivery boy, Aman Harishankar Saroj, died, and two others were seriously injured after a gas pipeline was damaged during unauthorised road construction near the Sher-e-Punjab society in Andheri East early Sunday morning. The fire erupted when a JCB was used to dig the road, affecting three victims—all sole breadwinners for their families.

The deceased, Aman, was a resident of Shivaji Nagar 6-A in Jogeshwari, where he lived with his parents and two sisters. He suffered 40–50 per cent burns and succumbed to his injuries at the Airoli Burn Centre on Monday.
