Rakesh frequently traveled to Mumbai for medical treatments at Lokhandwala hospital in the suburbs.
On a particular Wednesday, with some free time before his appointment, the family decided to take a boat ride along the coast.
What was supposed to be a leisurely and enjoyable activity turned into a heart-wrenching tragedy.
The boat capsized due to rough sea conditions, and despite the immediate rescue efforts by the coast guard and local authorities, Rakesh's daughter and son-in-law could not be saved.
The incident has left the family and the community in shock and mourning.
Rakesh, who was not in the mood for the boat ride, stayed behind.
He had always been cautious about sea travel, especially after a near-drowning experience he had as a child.
However, his daughter and son-in-law insisted on going, and he reluctantly agreed to let them go without him.
Speaking about the incident, Rakesh said, 'I was not in a mood for a boat ride that day.
I had always been wary of the sea ever since I almost drowned when I was a child.
But they were so excited, and I didn’t want to dampen their spirits.
I never thought this would happen.
I can’t believe they are gone.'
The local community and authorities have come forward to offer support to the grieving family.
The National Disaster Response Force (NDRF) and the local police are conducting a thorough investigation to understand the cause of the accident and prevent such incidents in the future.
Mumbai's coast is known for its scenic beauty and is a popular destination for boat rides and water sports.
However, this incident serves as a stark reminder of the importance of safety measures and the need for tourists and locals to exercise caution, especially during rough weather conditions.
The Ahire family has received an outpouring of support from friends, neighbors, and even strangers.
Local organizations have set up donation drives to help with the medical and funeral expenses.
Rakesh’s friends and family have been by his side, providing emotional and practical support during this difficult time.
The Lokhandwala Hospital, where Rakesh regularly visits for his medical treatments, has also extended its support to the family.
The hospital's spokesperson stated, 'We are deeply saddened by the loss and are offering all the necessary support to Rakesh and his family during this tragic time.
Our thoughts and prayers are with them.'
As the community continues to mourn and support the Ahire family, the incident has sparked a larger conversation about the safety regulations for recreational boat rides and the importance of adhering to weather advisories.
In memory of the victims, a memorial service is being planned, and local authorities are working to ensure that such incidents do not occur in the future.
The Ahire family hopes that their tragedy will raise awareness and lead to better safety standards for water-based activities.
Rakesh’s journey of healing begins, but the pain of losing his beloved daughter and son-in-law will stay with him forever.
The community’s support and the memory of their love will be his guiding light through this dark time.
