Overview

  • The deceased were identified as Padmabai Bhambre, Dnyaneshwar Bhambre, Ajinath Bhambre, Dnyaneshwar Dakle and Nirmala Dakle, according to police.
  • The speeding vehicle, traveling from Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar toward Jafrabad, first struck morning walker Bhagvan Bankar at Gadegavhan, leaving him seriously injured.
