On Sunday night, a 23-year-old biker, Shahbajz Mujawar, was seriously injured after being run over by a water tanker at Kadnagar Chowk in Undri, Pune, India. The incident occurred around 9:14 PM when the tanker, reportedly speeding, collided with multiple vehicles before hitting Mujawar's bike, which became trapped under its front wheels. Eyewitnesses noted the urgency of the situation, and a doctor present at the scene provided immediate first aid before Mujawar was transported to a nearby hospital.
This accident highlights growing concerns about tanker-related incidents in the area, especially following two recent fatalities. On April 5, Aariz Shaikh, a 19-year-old student, was killed by a tanker in the NIBM Annexe area, and just two days later, Gracia Daniel, a 22-year-old engineer, lost her life in a similar incident in Wanowrie. These tragedies have sparked outrage among residents, prompting calls for systemic interventions to enhance public safety. Inspector Mansingh Patil of the Kalepadal police station confirmed the arrest of the tanker driver, Digambar Vitthal Nawade, and the owner, Vivek Dattatreya Borade, has been booked under various legal provisions related to the incident.
