An 18-year-old tourist from India, Romanch Mahajan, dies after a Central Park carriage incident on June 17, according to a lawsuit filed by his family. The complaint says Mahajan fell from the ride and hit his head after the carriage horse bolted suddenly during their visit to New York City.
The lawsuit alleges the horse’s sudden reaction is linked to what the family describes as a “stray electrical current,” and it seeks $105 million from New York City. The Daily Mail reports the demand for damages and characterizes the case as involving allegations about the circumstances leading to the horse bolting and the resulting fall. Other aspects, such as official findings about the cause, investigation status, or responses from city or carriage industry representatives, are not detailed in the provided coverage.
Overall, the reports agree on the death, the location and date in Central Park, and that the family is pursuing a lawsuit tying the incident to electrical-current allegations, while the specific cause and any city determinations are not addressed in the supplied text.
