Nagpur– As temperatures in Nagpur soar above 45°C, the city is witnessing the deadly toll of the ongoing heatwave. In the past three days, three unidentified men—believed to be nomads—have died under suspicious but non-violent circumstances, with authorities suspecting heatstroke as the likely cause.
The first death was reported on the morning of April 22 under the Nandanvan Police Station limits. A man, aged around 45 to 50, was found unconscious behind Sheetla Mata Mandir. He was rushed to the Government Medical College and Hospital (GMCH) but was declared dead on arrival. Sub-Inspector Jadhav has registered an accidental death case based on the medical report.

Sub-Inspector Bhagat registered the case as an accidental death.
A third case was reported on the evening of April 21, again within Tehsil Police Station limits. Around 8:00 PM, a man was found unconscious near the Gandhi Bagh cloth market and was declared dead on arrival at Mayo Hospital. An accidental death report has been filed.
