CA Mohit Agarwal drowning: Management, lifeguard of Pune hotel booked

Agarwal was founder of a Kolkata-based institute that imparted training to students preparing for CA and company secretary examinations. The incident had taken place on the morning of April 2 around 9 am.

“A while after Agarwal had entered the water of the swimming pool, he drowned. A case of accidental death pending probe into the case was registered at the time. During the investigation of the case, his family members alleged negligence on the part of the hotel authorities. Our probe, which is based on the security camera footage among other things, suggests that the life guard posted at the pool was not present when the incident happened. A while later he returned and took Agarwal without even entering the water. When he was taken to a hospital, Agarwal was pronounced dead. Based on the investigation we have booked the hotel management and the life guard on charges of negligence.” said an officer from Shivajinagar police station.

When contacted, Assistant Inspector Bajirao Naik, from Shivajinagar police station, who is the investigating officer, said a probe has been launched and no arrests have been made in the case yet.
