Pune has been witnessing high-profile hit-and-run cases for the past couple of months. The accident involving a speeding Porsche driven by a businessman’s son had triggered nationwide protests, with people closely following the developments in the case, mired by manipulative reports to save the minor boy from legal repercussions amid allegations of alcohol influence while his driving. Two young engineers lives were lost in the tragic incident that happened on May 19.
In another tragic hit-and-run case in the city, Saurabh Gaikwad, son of former corporator and NCP leader Bandu Gaikwad, hit his speeding SUV into a poultry tempo. Police had found that Saurabh Gaikwad was driving on the wrong side when the collision occurred, and it was also reported that the accused driver was drunk while driving.
