Family and friends of 36-year-old Chetan Kadam, who saved several from jumping off the Bandra-Worli Sea Link, cannot believe he is among the 5 who died on the same road in a tragic accident on Wednesday. Kadam, who worked as a supervisor at the sea link, had saved several from jumping to death. He was also felicitated by the Worli police for the same. The situation was the same with the family of Somnath Salve, another deceased. Salve, too, saved lives as he was an ambulance driver, ferrying critical patients.

Kadam was an office-bearer of the NCP youth wing. By profession, he was a supervisor at the sea link since 2009, currently under Roadway Solutions India Infra Ltd, and had saved many people by stopping them from jumping off it. He was facilitated by Worli police for the same. Kadam is survived by his wife Chaitali and their 4-year-old son Durvank and elderly mother.

‘Always first to help’

Apart from his family, over 100 people from his building in Prabhadevi and colleagues gathered at BYL Nair Nospital where his body was kept. “We have seen him since childhood. He was always there to help others, no matter the hour,” said Ramesh Bhojne, 55, a neighbour from his building.
