Mumbai: 23-Year-Old Vikhroli Man Dead, 4 Others Critically Injured After Being Thrown From Bridge In Wrong-Way Joyride At Sion Circle; Visuals Surface

Mumbai: A 23-year-old man from Vikhroli tragically lost his life in a road accident on Wednesday morning at the Sion Circle Bridge. The victim, who was riding triple seat on an Activa travelling in the wrong direction, fell from the bridge and landed outside a housing society, where he died on the spot. The incident also critically injured four other individuals.
The deceased victim has been identified as Animesh More, a resident of Tagore Nagar. More was riding triple seat on an Activa (MH 03 EK 6057) with his two friends, Amol Kunchikarve, 20, and the driver Vignesh Sarvade – residents of the same locality.
About The Incident
According to police officials, the trio were returning home after attending Ganpati Visarjan processions. At around 3:45 am, with the roads being empty, they decided to take a joyride on the wrong side of the Sion Circle Bridge, travelling southbound in the northbound lane.
At the same time, another motorcycle, a Benelli TNT 300 (MH 04 JZ 4842), driven by Ashfaq Ansari, 28, and ridden by pillion passenger Mehendi Syed, 30, both residents of Govandi, was heading towards Mumbai. Taking advantage of the empty road to speed, both vehicles were travelling at high speeds and collided with each other.
According to traffic police officials who first arrived at the scene, the collision’s impact was so severe that all the occupants of the vehicles were thrown off the bridge, except for Animesh More. “The intensity of the crash was such that More, who was reportedly seated on the third seat, was thrown over the edge of the bridge and fell outside Shivranjani Society, located below the Sion Circle Bridge,” said a police official.
Initially, when police arrived at the scene, they believed the accident had injured four people. However, they later discovered More’s body several feet away from the bridge.
All the injured were taken to Sion Hospital, but More was declared dead before arrival due to severe injuries to his back, skull, legs, and chest. The others are currently in the ICU receiving treatment. Police reported that their conditions are critical, as none of them were wearing helmets, leading to significant head injuries.
On Wednesday night, police stated that they were still in the process of registering an FIR. Officials confirmed that none of the injured were driving under the influence, but noted that they were driving without helmets, speeding, and on the wrong side of the road. In this case, police are likely to charge Vignesh Sarvade with culpable homicide not amounting to murder under Section 105 of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita.

Gadchiroli : After the surrender of commander Bhupati alias Sanu and 60 Maoists with weapons, the Naxalites got a shock, confidence in government was restored : Devendra Fadnavis

Mumbai: The end of Maoists in Maharashtra is near. In Gudchiroli, a prominent Maoist, Venugopal Malujo alias Bhupati alias Sonu, who was active in many places, has surrendered along with his associates. 60 Maoists have surrendered before the Gudchiroli police, which is a big success for the Maharashtra Police. Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis has said that the Naxalites have been eliminated from the state’s Gadchiroli area and many Maoists have surrendered and they have returned to the right path and normal life. Their faith in the Constitution of India and the administration has been restored. It is a great blessing that the Naxalites have been eliminated from the state. Soon, the 10 to 15 Maoists who are hiding in the forests will also surrender. He said that Bhupati had expressed his desire to surrender. The police were in touch with him and then he expressed his desire that he wanted to surrender to me. So I said that I am ready to go to the forest too. But Bhupati was brought here and today Bhupati has surrendered. This is a big success. With the efforts of the central and state governments, the Naxalites have now become unstable and weak, which is why many Naxalites have surrendered before.
Fadnavis has said that the red terror has ended, the surrender of Naxalites from the borders around Gudchiroli is certain, due to the crackdown on Maoists from Jharkhand, Chhattisgarh, Karnataka and other borders, Maoists have either surrendered or repented from Naxalism to a large extent. He said that under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Home Minister Amit Shah’s dream of a Pakistan-India relationship with the Naxalites is being realized in shame. Bhupati was a Maoist who was the backbone and ideological ideology of the Maoists. His surrender will further strengthen the police operation. He said that it is the result of the hard work of all the senior officers including Maharashtra Police DGP Rashmi Shukla and the officers involved in the Naxal operation that the Maoists’ back has been broken today. Fadnavis said that there was a reward of Rs 6 crore on the Naxalites and now this Maoist has been brought back to the right path.
