A family is suing New York City seeking $105 million after a teenager, Romanch Mahajan, dies following a carriage ride in Central Park. The family alleges that stray or exposed electrical voltage may have spooked one of the carriage horses, contributing to the teen’s fatal fall during the tourist ride.
The outlets describe the claim that electrical issues in or near the area frightened the animal and played a role in the incident. The case centers on whether conditions in the park created a hazardous environment and whether the city bears responsibility for preventing harm related to such hazards. While the focus is broadly similar across reporting, details available publicly in the coverage emphasize the family’s theory of causation rather than any conclusive findings about what triggered the horse’s behavior.
Different outlets may frame the matter with varying emphasis on the amount sought and the alleged mechanism of “stray voltage,” but they align on the core point: the family filed a lawsuit against the city in connection with the Central Park carriage-ride death.
