In a brutal incident in Mumbai, an 8-year-old was crushed by a dumper truck in the Dahisar area on Thursday, when she was on her way back from school. The incident was caught on a nearby CCTV camera and the victim was identified as Vidya Santosh Bansode.
The Dahisar police registered a case against the dumper driver Mukesh Dhale under section 304 (A) of the IPC and arrested him, an ANI report said on Friday. In the video going viral on social media, the truck can be seen running over the girl even as people around shouted at the driver.
At first, the girl fell down on being pushed by the truck. When a man yelled at the driver to take the truck back, the vehicle again moved some inches ahead. Thereafter, the girl was picked up by some people standing around. This was when Dhale tried to run away but was stopped by the people, who contacted the police thereafter.
The incident took place near Sagar Jewellers in Dahisar. “According to initial investigation, 32-year-old driver Mukesh Dhale had been driving drunk when the accident happened,” an Indian Express report quoted the police as saying.
The news report further quoted the FIR that said the 8-year-old was with her mother Rekha when the incident took place. They had just dropped her 13-year-old brother Chirag at school in Dahisar and were coming back home through the NN Dubey road. The little girl was holding her mother’s hand when the brutal incident happened.
