In an unfortunate incident, three people on a bike died at Aarey Milk Colony near Picnic Point after their bike hit a pole on early Saturday morning. In the last three days, four people have lost their lives on the same road in Aarey colony. The deceased were identified as Radhesham Ashok Dawande, 34, Vivek Lalman Rajbhar, 24, and Ritesh Shivaji Salve, 27. Jagdish Deshmukh, senior PI, Aarey Police Station, told mid-day, “They were driving on triple seats and collided with a light pole at the picnic spot near the metro car shed.”

The senior PI also said, “All three were taken to a nearby hospital. Two of the three individuals were declared dead before arrival and the third individual passed away while being admitted. Postmortem procedures are going on. As of now, we cannot confirm whether it was a case of drunk driving.” A local, who spoke on the condition of anonymity, said, “It’s high time that the authorities take note of such accidents and install speed breakers. The two-wheeler riders drive at a very high speeds because there are no speed breakers here, which is why the accidents are taking place.”
