In Nagpur, a 60-year-old man met a tragic fate when he was fatally struck by a speeding bus, an incident captured in a chilling CCTV footage. The victim, identified as Ratnakar Dixit, was riding his bicycle along a bustling street in Raghuji Nagar on Monday morning when the bus collided with him.
The distressing video depicts the moment Dixit, cycling on the roadside, was suddenly hit from behind by the bus. The impact caused his bicycle to swerve and be dragged under the bus’s rear wheels, ultimately pulling Dixit under as well. Despite the severity of the accident, the bus driver callously continued driving, leaving Dixit critically injured at the scene.
Subsequently, Dixit was rushed to a nearby hospital where he tragically succumbed to his injuries. Local authorities have since launched a search for the absconding bus driver, having already identified the vehicle involved in the incident.
This incident follows closely after another recent vehicular tragedy involving a Shiv Sena leader’s son in Mumbai, where a fisherwoman lost her life after being struck by a BMW. The back-to-back accidents have reignited concerns over road safety and the accountability of drivers on Maharashtra’s busy roads.
The CCTV footage of the incident has sparked widespread shock and condemnation online, prompting renewed calls for stricter enforcement of traffic laws and heightened awareness among motorists. As investigations continue into the circumstances surrounding Ratnakar Dixit’s untimely death, local residents and authorities alike mourn the loss of a member of their community in this tragic and preventable accident.
