Mumbai witnessed a tragic accident on August 22 when a 58-year-old woman named Laxmibai Narsana Kopul was killed after being struck by a speeding dumper on Barrister Nath Pai Road in Mazgaon. The Byculla police have apprehended the dumper driver, Kumar Horilal Gupta, 47, in connection with the incident. According to the First Information Report (FIR), the accident occurred around 9.52 pm near the New Naralwadi Bridge on Barrister Nath Pai Road.
Kopul, a resident of Pratiksha Nagar, Sion Koliwada, was reportedly walking along the road when the dumper (MH 01 EE 1643) allegedly traveling at high speed hit her, causing severe injuries. Local residents chased the dumper, intercepted it around half a kilometre away, and informed the police. Assistant Police Sub-Inspector Anil Gorakshnath Sangle, 52, led the investigation team.
Kopul was found unconscious in a pool of blood, sustaining injuries to her right leg and head. She was taken to Sir J.J. Hospital, where doctors declared her deceased before arrival. Three individuals, including Kopul, were injured, while another person, Horilal Gupta, was arrested for reckless driving and negligence. Police allege Gupta abandoned the scene without providing medical assistance.
Further investigation is ongoing to determine the full extent of the incident and the circumstances surrounding Kopul's death.
