Near Dahegaon Bungala on Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar – Pune Highway, a speeding container (NL 01 AF 4210) coming from the direction of Pune towards Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar dashed into their motorcycle.

Recently, the Nagpur police cracked a fatal hit-and-run case within 36 hours using artificial intelligence (AI), despite having almost no information about the vehicle involved. The incident took place on August 9, Raksha Bandhan day, when a couple travelling on a bike in Nagpur was hit by a speeding truck.

The woman fell on the road and was run over by the vehicle, which fled the scene. In shock, her husband tied her body to his bike to take it back to their native village in Madhya Pradesh. A disturbing video of the act went viral on social media.
