在美国经营收益管理公司Vistex的印度籍老闆桑杰沙阿(Sanjay Shah),18日为庆祝公司成立,举办了派对活动,不料在其中一个环节,他准备从4.6米的高空垂降,却因支撑的链条断裂,直接坠地身亡。
桑杰沙阿将派对活动的地点,选在印度海得拉巴罗摩吉电影城(Ramoji Film City),18日晚上,他和公司总裁拉朱达特拉(Raju Datla)准备了一齣“华丽登场”桥段,两人先是进入一个大笼子内,接着由机器控制,预计将缓缓降落在讲台上,宣布活动正式开始。
不过悲剧意外就此发生,拉着笼子的铁链突然断裂,从舞台下方看,笼子大幅度地向左倾斜,接着直接将桑杰沙阿和拉朱达特拉“倒出”,两人在没有其他保护装置的情况下,直接从4.6米的高空摔落在水泥地面上。

事发后桑杰沙阿和拉朱达特拉被紧急送医抢救,最终桑杰沙阿伤重不治,拉朱达特拉则是身受重伤,至今未脱离险境。
桑杰沙阿来自孟买,是一位科技企业家,大学时赴美就读理学大学(Lehigh University),并创办了Vistex高阶主管学习与研究学院,为客户提供收入管理及金融分析的软体,在获利之馀,桑杰沙阿还成立了基金会,替致力于健康、教育和基本需求的非营利组织提供捐款。而拉朱达特拉则是Vistex总裁,在2000年就进入公司任职。
