Pune: Crane Accident Claims Life Near Khadi Machine Chowk; Driver Detained by Kondhwa Police

Pune:

In the last few years, the number of vehicles on Katraj Kondhwa Road has increased significantly. However, in comparison to that, the road widening work on that road has not progressed much. Because of this, a large number of accidents are taking place on this road, especially in the monsoon season.

Amidst this, a tragic incident took place on this road on September 26, in which a person died after being hit by a crane on the road. In this regard, Jetharam Babulal Jaat (age 20) has lodged a complaint at Kondhwa Police Station. Accordingly, police detained the crane driver, Rajaram Bhagwan Devkar (age 41, a resident of Katraj).

This incident took place near the Balaji Hotel near Khadi Machine Chowk on September 26 at 10:30 p.m. In this accident, Chandaram Tejaram Chaudhari (age 35, a resident of Green Country, Bhekrai Nagar) has lost his life.

As per the police information, the plaintiff and Chandaram Chaudhari work in the granite showroom of Ramniwas Chaudhari. After completing their work in the shop, at 10.30 in the night, the plaintiff was going home on Chandaram Chaudhari’s bike. At that time, a crane coming from behind hit their bike near the Balaji Hotel near Khadi Machin Chowk.

After the collision, the plaintiff fell on the left side, whereas Chandaram Chaudhari lost his balance and fell on the right side in front of the crane. Due to this, Chandaram Chaudhari died on the spot as the wheel of the crane went above him. The police have arrested the crane driver.
