Pune Police have arrested Sameer Ganesh Kad (32), the driver accused of fleeing the scene after fatally hitting a pedestrian in a hit-and-run incident near Nyati Ebony Society, Undri.
The victim, Sujitkumar Baswant Prasad Singh (49), a Security Manager by profession, was on his morning walk when he was struck by a speeding car on Tuesday morning (April 1) at around 7 AM. Singh suffered severe injuries and died on the spot.
Following the accident, a case was registered at Kalepadal Police Station against an unidentified driver. Under the leadership of Deputy Commissioner of Police (DCP) Dr. Rajkumar Shinde, a dedicated police team led by Senior Inspector Manasingh Patil launched an investigation.
CCTV footage from the accident site was analyzed to identify the vehicle. However, the car’s number plate was not clearly visible, making identification difficult.
The police extended their search, analyzing additional CCTV cameras from surrounding areas. Their efforts led them to Soratapwadi’s Tarde village (Haveli Taluka), where the suspect was finally apprehended.
The arrest was confirmed by DCP Dr. Rajkumar Shinde. Pune Police continue to investigate the case and are expected to take further legal action against the accused driver.
