Navi Mumbai: Police Teams Head To Karnataka To Track Down Dumper Driver Who Killed 12-Year-Old In CBD Sector-8

Navi Mumbai: Two teams of CBD Belapur police have left to Karnataka to find the dumper driver who hit onto the bicycle driven by a 12 year old, which killed him on the spot on Wednesday. The driver has been identified as Ramlingappa Nimbale (22). The teams who have went in his search have gone to Bangalore and Gulberga.

The residents of sector 8 in Belapur wherein the accident happened have claimed that the heavy vehicles should not enter the internal roads as the road is very narrow.

According to police, annual maintenance of the road was going on by Navi Mumbai Municipal Corporation (NMMC) and they had given the contract to the third party. “In the course of the investigation, if we find even the contractor to be at fault, we will book him too,” a police officer from CBD Belapur police station said.

The 12 year old boy Shivam Krishna Bhatt, who was going home from tuition classes was hit by the dumper coming from his front. The boy was a resident of Ishan Building in Artist Village, CBD Sector-8 and was a sixth-grade student at People's Education Society School in CBD.

On Wednesday morning around 10 am, he had gone to Sector-4 for his tuition class as usual. After finishing his tuition, he was heading towards his home at sector 8. As he reached near Nanesh Hospital in Sector-8B, a speeding dumper, which had come to the area for road repair work, hit him. The route he took was his regular route of travelling as it was internal road with less vehicular movement.
