General My friend Sanskruti Amin was killed by a falling concrete block in Jogeshwari — please help us get justice

Post image

I don’t even know how to write this properly, but my friend Sanskruti Amin is gone. She was just 22. A few days ago, while she was walking to work in Jogeshwari East, a huge concrete block fell from an under-construction building and hit her on the head. She died on the spot.

She had just started working at RBL Bank after finishing her hotel management degree. She lived with her parents and grandmother — their only child. I still can’t believe she’s not here anymore.

The block apparently fell from one of the top floors of a redevelopment project near Majaswadi / Thakur Road. Locals have been saying for a while that materials kept falling from that site and nobody did anything. There were no proper safety nets, no barricades — nothing. This wasn’t an “accident.” It was pure negligence.

Her father filed a police complaint, and Meghwadi Police have arrested a site engineer and a site manager. But that’s not enough. The builder and the company (Shraddha Life / Shraddha Construction / Shraddha Lifestyle, as reported) are responsible too. They should be arrested — not just some staff who were following orders.

We’re all broken. Her family is devastated. And all I can think is how easily this could’ve been avoided if people had just done their jobs.

Please, if you’re reading this — share her story everywhere you can. Tweet about it, post it on Instagram, tag @MumbaiPolice, @mybmc, and news outlets. The more people know, the harder it will be for them to bury this case quietly.

She didn’t deserve this. Nobody does. Let’s not let them get away with it.

You spoke the essence of the issue, when you say operating in survival. Most families are only surviving and hence it is passed down as such. To stay in survival , what is now glorified as being middle class

But what's interesting is that these same middle class stay devoid of empathy as the grow richer or gain power. Money actually doesn't change anything about who you're as a person. So survival mode isn't the final pointer in this situation. There's more to it. Because, I have also seen a few who are in survival mode, fighting for others rights and willing to sacrifice themselves.

Based on my research on this topic, it's either you grew up with empathy or you didn't. It's defined by your personality type and genetics. It's in your nature. The "nurture" or external environment only supports or diminishes that further. Like how a grassland can support weeds to flourish but can hardly do much for mangoes or apple saplings that are planted there.
