5-Year-Old Girl Killed By Speeding Car In Nagpur

A tragic incident occurred in Nagpur on Thursday, where a five-year-old girl was knocked down by a speeding car outside her home in the Manewada area, resulting in her death. The incident happened at around 9:30 pm near Badrinath Society in Mahakali Nagar, under the jurisdiction of the Hudkeshwar Police Station.

The deceased girl, Kisha Gurnule, had stepped out of her house for a walk with a neighbour after having dinner. While they were walking near the society, a speeding car allegedly knocked the girl down. The car was reportedly being driven by Gaurav Malviya, a resident of Manewada.

Kisha was rushed to a nearby hospital, but doctors declared her dead upon arrival. Following the incident, Kisha's father lodged a complaint at the Hudkeshwar Police Station, and police subsequently registered a case against the car driver under relevant sections of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita and the Motor Vehicles Act.

The incident has left the girl's family devastated, with relatives demanding stringent action against the accused. Police are currently investigating the circumstances surrounding the accident and examining CCTV footage and other available evidence as part of the probe.

This incident is not an isolated one, as earlier this month, two Class 11 students were killed and another was seriously injured after the car they were travelling in crashed into a parked truck in Nagpur's Kalmana area. The three friends were reportedly travelling to celebrate a friend's birthday when the accident occurred.

The Nagpur police are taking steps to prevent such accidents in the future, but the lack of safety measures and reckless driving continue to pose a threat to the lives of citizens. The incident highlights the need for stricter traffic laws and increased awareness about road safety.

The investigation into the accident is ongoing, and further details are awaited. The police are urging anyone with information about the incident to come forward and help with the investigation.

The death of the five-year-old girl has sent shockwaves through the community, and people are demanding justice for the victim's family. The incident serves as a reminder of the importance of road safety and the need for drivers to be more responsible and cautious while driving.

In conclusion, the tragic incident in Nagpur highlights the need for increased awareness about road safety and stricter traffic laws to prevent such accidents in the future. The police are working to investigate the incident and bring the perpetrator to justice, and the community is coming together to support the victim's family.
