35-year-old man who was critically injured in a horrific drunk driving accident in Ghatkopar last week has succumbed to his injuries. The victim, whose identity is yet to be confirmed, passed away late Sunday night while undergoing treatment at Rajawadi Hospital in Mumbai.

The tragic incident occurred on the morning of September 13 at around 6:15 AM, on the LBS Road near Excel Arcade building in Ghatkopar (West). A Kia car (GJ 15 CK 4411), registered in Gujarat and allegedly driven under the influence of alcohol, veered off the road and crashed into the footpath.

The accused, Bhavika Mohan Dama-Bhanushali,30, a resident of Bhanuashaliwadi in Ghatkopar (East), was driving the car. She was reportedly on her way to drop off her friend Koram Bhanushali,30, accompanied by another friend Aniket Bansode, when she lost control of the speeding vehicle.

In the accident, the car smashed through a steel barricade, mounted the footpath, and crashed into the steps of a local shop. The impact severely injured a man who was seated on the footpath. The force of the crash was so intense that the barricade flew and shattered the glass door of a Punjab National Bank ATM center, damaged the steps of the Ambron Battery shop, broke a sewage line, and wrecked a parked motorcycle (MH03 DW 2971).

The Ghatkopar police rushed to the scene upon receiving information and immediately shifted the injured victim to Rajawadi Hospital, where he was admitted to the ICU. Despite medical efforts, he was declared dead by doctors at around 11 PM on Sunday, September 14, an official said.

Initially, police registered a case under sections 281, 125(A)(B) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS) and sections 134(A)(B), 184, 185, and 187 of the Motor Vehicles Act. Following the victim’s death, the police have now added Section 105 of the BNS, relating to culpable homicide not amounting to murder.

All three individuals in the car Bhavika Dama-Bhanushali, Koram Bhanushali, and Aniket Bansode have been arrested and produced before the court, which has remanded them to police custody for two days.

According to police, eyewitnesses Dhananjay Muluk, Baban Tarte, and Jitendra Pawar have recorded their statements. Bhavika Dama-Bhanushali has reportedly confessed to driving under the influence of alcohol, and her friend Korum Bhanushali has also admitted to consuming alcohol.

Police are continuing their investigation based on forensic evidence from the crash site, CCTV footage, and medical reports of the accused.

India-Pakistan cricket match: BJP government should clarify its policy: Uddhav Thackeray

Published

on

Mumbai: Mumbai Shiv Sena chief Uddhav Thackeray targeted BJP after the India-Pakistan cricket match and said that the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) only pretends to be patriotic and this has now become clear. What would have happened if the cricket match was not played with Pakistan? On one hand, after the terrorist attack in Pahalgam, Pakistan was declared an enemy country and a delegation was sent against it at the international level. Pakistan’s misdeeds were put forward there, but what message will go at the international level if cricket is played with Pakistan. Pakistan carries out terrorist attacks against India and we play matches with it. The stand that the country had made clear against Pakistan after the Pahalgam attack should be maintained, but the BJP wants to sing praises of Amit Shah and Jai Shah. Delegations from across the country say that Pakistan carried out a terrorist attack on India and now a match is being played with it. Is this right? Uddhav Thackeray also raised questions on the foreign policy regarding Pakistan and said that on one hand we call Pakistan a terrorist country and on the other hand we play cricket with it. We narrate the misdeeds of Pakistan during our foreign trips. So what message will go to these countries that on one hand India calls Pakistan a terrorist and on the other hand maintains relations with it. So why would any country support India against Pakistan? Therefore, it is important to decide whether Pakistan is an enemy or a friend. If we end relations with Pakistan, we can convince other countries to do the same. But what message will go when we talk against Pakistan and play cricket with it? That is why I call the Bharatiya Janata Party a fake Janata Party.
