在美國經營收益管理公司Vistex的印度籍老闆桑傑沙阿(Sanjay Shah),18日為慶祝公司成立,舉辦了派對活動,不料在其中一個環節,他準備從4.6米的高空垂降,卻因支撐的鏈條斷裂,直接墜地身亡。

桑傑沙阿將派對活動的地點,選在印度海得拉巴羅摩吉電影城(Ramoji Film City)。
18日晚上,他和公司總裁拉朱達特拉(Raju Datla)準備了一出「華麗登場」橋段,兩人先是進入一個大籠子內,接着由機器控制,預計將緩緩降落在講台上,宣佈活動正式開始。
不過悲劇意外就此發生,拉着籠子的鐵煉突然斷裂,從舞台下方看,籠子大幅度地向左傾斜,接着直接將桑傑沙阿和拉朱達特拉「倒出」,兩人在沒有其他保護裝置的情況下,直接從4.6米的高空摔落在水泥地面上。
事發後桑傑沙阿和拉朱達特拉被緊急送醫搶救,最終桑傑沙阿傷重不治,拉朱達特拉則是身受重傷,至今未脫離險境。
桑傑沙阿來自孟買,是一位科技企業家,大學時赴美就讀理學大學(Lehigh University),並創辦了Vistex高階主管學習與研究學院,為客戶提供收入管理及金融分析的軟體。
在獲利之餘,桑傑沙阿還成立了基金會,替致力於健康、教育和基本需求的非營利組織提供捐款。而拉朱達特拉則是Vistex總裁,在2000年就進入公司任職。
