IIM Nagpur Student Dies in Flyover Crash as Police Reassess Hit-and-Run Claim

Police now say the collision may not be a hit-and-run as the inquiry examines how the crash unfolded.

Overview

  • A senior officer said preliminary findings do not indicate a clear hit-and-run and an accidental death case has been registered.
  • The victim was identified as 22-year-old Anuj Pathak of Uttarakhand, an IIM Nagpur student who crashed on the Mihan flyover around 9:30 pm Saturday.
  • Investigators reported few eyewitnesses and no CCTV coverage on the stretch, with damage suggesting he could have struck a vehicle, grazed one, or hit the divider.
  • Pathak’s brother said he likely died from internal injuries and believes timely medical help might have saved him.
