Tragic Hit-and-Run Incident Claims the Life of a Woman in Rajkot

Another tragic hit-and-run incident has shocked the city of Rajkot in Gujarat, where a 60-year-old woman lost her life in a horrifying accident. The incident took place on the outskirts of Rajkot on Thursday night, leaving the victim, Vijyaben Bathwar, dead.

Details of the Incident

According to the police, the woman was not only hit by a car but was also dragged for a harrowing 1.5 kilometres before succumbing to her injuries. “We have information that the car driver dragged her for nearly 1.5 kilometres. An FIR has been registered in the matter. The car belongs to a person living in Dhoraji,” reported DCP Zone-2, Jagdish Bangarwa.

Police Investigation and Efforts to Apprehend the Accused

The car involved in the hit-and-run has been impounded by the police, and an extensive search is currently underway to identify and locate the person responsible for this heinous act. The authorities are leaving no stone unturned to bring the perpetrator to justice and ensure that such incidents are not repeated in the future.

Similar Incident in Mumbai

This tragic incident in Rajkot comes just days after a hit-and-run case in Mumbai, where the accused, Mihir Shah, was arrested after being on the run for two days. The incident in Mumbai resulted in the death of a woman, Kaveri Nakhwa, and left her husband, Pradip, injured.

Legal Actions and Consequences

In the wake of the Mumbai hit-and-run case, a probe team of the police recreated the accident scene to gather more information. The accused individuals, including Mihir Shah and his co-accused Rajrishi Bidawat, are facing legal consequences for their actions. Rajesh Shah, Mihir’s father, was also arrested in connection with the case but was granted bail shortly after.

Community Response and Action

The Shiv Sena, a political party, took swift action by suspending Rajesh Shah from his position as Deputy Leader in Palghar. The accused persons have been booked under various sections of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS), including culpable homicide not amounting to murder.

Efforts to Ensure Justice Prevails

As the investigation unfolds and legal proceedings continue, the authorities are committed to ensuring that justice is served for the victims and their families. The tragic incidents in both Mumbai and Rajkot serve as a stark reminder of the importance of road safety and responsible driving to prevent such senseless tragedies from occurring.
