Overview
- On Saturday in Mulund Colony, a speeding dumper hit 37-year-old Suresh Babu Rajput, who was declared dead at Agarwal Hospital.
- Near the Mulund (West) BEST depot, a 70-year-old pedestrian was struck as a bus entered the gate, she was taken to hospital and the driver was booked.
- Accounts differ on the dumper driver's status, with some reports saying he fled and others saying he later surrendered and was arrested.
- Police registered cases under the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita and Motor Vehicles Act and said they are reviewing traffic arrangements.
- About 200 residents protested, urging curbs on dumpers and other heavy vehicles as construction at the Bhandup Water Treatment Plant, flyover demolition, steep gradients and encroached footpaths push more large trucks through narrow lanes.
