A speeding BMW car rammed into the bike of a couple in Worli on Sunday, dragging the woman on the bonnet of the car for 100 meters, leading to her death and injuring her husband. The police said that they were on the lookout for the accused.

This comes at a time when there was a huge uproar over a hit-and-run case involving a Porsche in Pune, where a 17-year-old minor had hit a motorcycle and killed two people.

According to police sources, the vehicle is owned by a Palghar-based leader of a political party and his son was inside the car along with the driver. The cops further informed that the accident took place at around 5.30 am near Atria Mall.

The woman has been identified as Kaveri Nakhwa (45), a resident of Worli Koliwada, who was heading back along with her husband to sell fish after procuring it from Sassoon dock.

The car hit the couple’s scooter following which they lost balance and landed on the bonnet of the vehicle. The husband quickly jumped off but Kaveri couldn’t. On panicking, the car continued to drive, dragging Kaveri on the bonnet for around 100 meters before flinging her onto the road, the police sources said.
