The Mulund Police in Mumbai have launched a manhunt to apprehend the driver of a truck who allegedly ran over a 34-year-old teacher, identified as Amruta Pumiya, on November 31.
According to one of the victim's relatives, Pumiya, her husband Vishal and their two-year-old daughter were going to a relative's house in Mulund on their bike on November 31. Pumiya was seated as a pillion passenger while her husband was riding the two-wheeler.
"When they reached near Fortis Hospital, a truck hit their bike. All the three people sustained injuries and were rushed to Fortis Hospital. While Vishal and the couple's daughter suffered minor injuries, the doctors declared Pumiya dead on arrival. We have registered an FIR (first information report) and further investigation is ongoing," a police officer said.
Pumiya's relatives have demanded strict action as the police have not found any clue against the truck driver who has been on the run for two days after the accident.
