The eleven-day struggle of the 11-year-old girl who was run over by a school van at Mankhurd came to an end on Wednesday night. The girl breathed her last at LTMG hospital. The girl identified as Meenashree Bahera had been seriously injured after being hit by the school van and dragged for some distance. At the time of the incident the girl was with her father shopping for fish at the Maharashtra Nagar market.

The spot near Maharashtra Nagar tunnel where the accident had occurred witnessed five-six hours of tension on Thursday as the bereaved father Parmeshwar Bahera, 40, made the ambulance carrying the victim’s body stop and refused to move further. Resorting to this protest, Bahera demanded stringent action by the police. The police had a hard time as relatives and locals who joined Bahera turned into a crowd.
