At around 10.00 p.m., Ritik, along with Rahul Sahebrao Kurhade (26), the brother-in-law of Ritik’s elder brother, and their acquaintance Nayan Gedam (25), was sitting inside a Tata 407 vehicle (MH-40-CM-3487) parked near Shan Beer Bar at Medical Square under the jurisdiction of Ajni Police Station. The trio was allegedly consuming liquor inside the stationary vehicle.
Police said that Ritik was asked to bring liquor from a nearby wine shop. At that time, accused Nayan Gedam was seated at the steering wheel, while Rahul Kurhade was sitting beside him. The vehicle engine was reportedly in running condition.
In a sudden turn of events, Rahul Kurhade’s foot allegedly hit the gear lever, causing the vehicle to move forward abruptly. Ritik, who had come in front of the vehicle, was run over and sustained critical injuries.
As the driver allegedly attempted to flee with the vehicle, bystanders intervened and stopped it. Rahul Kurhade, who was seated next to the driver, was caught by locals and handed over to the police. The severely injured Ritik was rushed to the Medical Hospital, where doctors declared him dead during treatment.
Based on the complaint lodged by Sunil Bisram Satar (49), a resident of Rahul Nagar and the complainant in the case, Ajni Police have registered an offence against the Tata 407 driver Nayan Gedam under Sections 106(1) and 281 of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS). Further investigation is underway.
The tragic incident has cast a shadow over what was meant to be a moment of joy for the young family, turning a celebration of new life into an evening of grief.
