An accident happened on the Western Express Highway in the Dahisar suburb of Mumbai on Friday night that killed a 17-year-old boy and left two others injured. The victim – Aditya Velankar – was on a bike along with his friend Karan Rajput, 18 years old, when a speeding car knocked them down from the rear. The third friend, Piyush Shukla, was on another bike, which was parked just near the spot of the incident.
This incident resulted in nasty injuries on Karan and Aditya’s sides. Claim diagnosis from the bystanders reveals that Karan landed on the left side of the road while Aditya landed on the right side. Aditya had life-threatening head injuries; he had blood oozing from his ears and nose in this condition. The driver driving the car, speeding, left the scene shortly after causing an impact.
As soon as possible, Piyush and Karan brought Aditya to the nearby hospital, but during the treatment, Aditya died of his injuries. The Dahisar police have since filed a case under Section 106 of the Indian Penal Code for causing death by negligence and Section 281 IPC for rash or negligent acts and as per section of the Motor Vehicle Act. The police have also recovered camera footage from the accident scene to help identify the car owner and a search has been launched to arrest the driver.
A more recent one was when, in Mumbai south, motorcyclist Shahen Alam Sheikh was set on a severe beat down after he allegedly pressed a woman on the pavement and hit her on the head with his helmet after an altercation. The police arrested the young Sheikh, who was set free after receiving a notice.
Lastly, last week, a worker of Ganesh mandal died, and another one was injured critically when a BMW car ran over them during Ganeshotsav preparations in the Mulund area. The two victims that were injured, Pritam Thorat and Prasad Patil, were fixing banners near Aakruti Tower when it happened.
