In a tragic incident at Versova Beach, Mumbai, a 36-year-old rickshaw driver, Ganesh Yadav, was crushed to death by a speeding SUV in the early hours of August 12. Yadav, along with fellow rickshaw driver Bablu Srivastava, was sleeping on the beach pavement to escape the city’s humidity when the fatal accident occurred.
The Versova police swiftly arrested the two accused, Nikhil Jawale (34) and Shubam Dongre (33), and charged them with culpable homicide not amounting to murder. The suspects were produced before a local court in Andheri, where they were remanded to five days in police custody for further investigation. Authorities have also sent their blood samples for testing to determine if they were driving under the influence of alcohol at the time of the incident.
