  "account": "A tragic accident occurred in Kalamboli on Wednesday when a speeding poultry tempo collided with three individuals unloading luggage from a private bus. The victims, identified as Sangeeta Mote and Balu Sartate, were a woman and her husband who worked as a bus cleaner. Sangeeta's husband, Popat Mote, remains in critical condition at Sushrut Hospital.\n\nThe accident happened around 3 AM near a CNG pump on the Mumbai-bound stretch beyond Kalamboli Circle. Sangeeta and her husband had traveled to their native village in Mhaswad, Satara district a few days prior and were returning to Kalamboli via a Mandesh Travels bus that they boarded at 8 PM on Tuesday.\n\nWhen the bus reached Kalamboli around 3 AM, the driver stopped near a CNG pump. The couple and the bus cleaner disembarked to unload their luggage. As they were removing their belongings, a poultry tempo traveling from Kalamboli Circle allegedly lost control and slammed into them. All three victims sustained serious injuries, with Sangeeta and Balu Mote tragically losing their lives at the Panvel Sub-District Hospital. Popat Mote is receiving treatment at Sushrut Hospital.\n\nThe Thane Shiv Sena UBT Leader Pradeep Purnekar Murder Case, which remains unresolved after one month, has resulted in the arrest of five individuals.
