Family of Central Park Victim Seeks $105 Million From New York City

The family of 19-year-old Romanch Mahajan, who died in a tragic carriage accident in New York City’s Central Park, is seeking approximately $105 million in damages from New York City and other parties.

Mahajan, a tourist from India, was reportedly thrown from a horse-drawn carriage on June 17, 2026, while trying to help his mother after the horse became frightened.

The family’s legal claim alleges that stray electrical voltage may have caused the horse to bolt, leading to the fatal accident. The filing names New York City, Con Edison, and several city agencies as defendants.

The family has filed a Notice of Claim, which is a legal step indicating an intention to pursue a lawsuit.

Importantly, the $105 million is the amount the family is seeking, not money that has been awarded by a court or agreed upon by the defendants.

The circumstances surrounding the accident remain subject to investigation and legal proceedings.
