Pune, 14 April 2026: A 41-year-old man was killed in a horrific road accident after a speeding car driven by a drunk man hit him, dragged him on the bonnet, and later ran over him near Uruli Devachi on the Hadapsar–Saswad road late Sunday night.
The victim, Sagar Balasaheb Saykar, a resident of Shewalwadi, was passing near a hotel in the area around 12:30 am when the accused, Krishna Gopal Koilwad from Fursungi, allegedly rammed his car into him at high speed while under the influence of alcohol.
