Palghar man, 30, dies after scissors pierce chest in fall on stairs at Durves Naka

A 30-year-old man died in a tragic accident at Durves Naka in Palghar taluka on Monday. Naresh Mohanlal Prajapati was going up to the first floor of his house to cut cloth when he suddenly felt dizzy. He fell, and the iron scissors he was holding pierced his chest.

The incident took place at around 12.30 pm on Monday, 19 October 2027. A pall of gloom has since settled over the area.

Prajapati lived in the part of Durves Naka opposite the Ganpati temple. After lunch on Monday, he was heading to the first floor to cut cloth. He had the iron scissors in his left hand.

While climbing the stairs of the house, he suddenly felt dizzy and lost his balance. He fell forward, and the scissors in his hand drove into his chest, causing serious injury. He lost a great deal of blood from the chest and his condition became critical.

Seriously injured, Prajapati was rushed to Aastha Hospital in Manor for treatment. After examining him, doctors declared him dead. His family has been plunged into grief by the sudden tragedy, and people in the area are expressing their sorrow.

Kusum Prajapati gave information about the incident. According to her, the dizzy spell while he was on the stairs caused him to lose balance, leading to the accident. She has also stated on record that there is no suspicion about Naresh's death and no complaint against anyone.

Neighbours are saddened that a 30-year-old man lost his life in an unforeseen accident inside his home.

Dizziness, loss of balance or a sudden fall while climbing or descending stairs at home can cause serious injury. Carrying scissors, a sharp object or other items in the hand raises the risk of injury further, so special care is needed when climbing stairs with such things in hand.
