Woman passes away in road accident, cops book her for negligence :

After battling for her life for two days, a 48-year-old accident casualty breathed her last at Golden reserve hospital in Vasai on Sunday. The casualty, Asha Damdare, a housewife, had fallen from a two wheeler while endeavouring to dodge a pothole in Vasai on Friday evening. What came as a impolite shock to the family of the deceased, however, was the fact that the Manikpur policeman had booked her for negligence.

Asha's husband Tanaji Damdare, meanwhile, blamed the Vasai Virar Municipal Corporation (VVMC) for her death. He furthermore registered a policemanman complaint considering the matter. It should, however, be cited that at the time of the incident, Asha and her daughter Swati (26), who was riding pillion, were not wearing helmets.

The incident took place on the Vasai trains connection beside the Chimmaji Appa garden. Asha was travelling the Honda Activa and was returning dwelling to Kolasowadi in Vasai (E) with her female child when the vehicle  strike the pothole. Asha, who had maintained serious wounds to her head and back, was taken to hospital by passersby. Swati, luckily, got away with secondary bruises on her left hand.

The victim's husband, Tanaji, who is engaged with a private firm in Mumbai, reached the hospital and was acquainted by doctors that Asha had lost a allotment of blood. Late on Saturday, medical practitioners presented an operation to command the internal bleeding. The victim, although, died early on Sunday.

Tanaji and Swati then advanced the policeman and listed a complaint. In her statement, Swati cited that due to the rainfall that day, visibility was very poor. The casualty had been travelling the two-wheeler for the last several years.

The Manikpur policeman, meantime, registered Asha under part 304 (death due to negligence) of Indian Penal Code (IPC). Her family constituents conveyed shock over the development and said VVMC, Public Works Department and the road contractor should be booked rather than.

Following the incessant rainfall, the Vasai-Virar region is full of potholes and the municipality has made little effort to rectify the difficulty. Even the Vasai Virar Municipal Transport (VVMT) drivers and conductors have been complaining about the collapsed roads and murdered potholes.
