Video: 12 Students Injured After Drunk Driver Rams Tea Stall In Pune
Pune: A group of civil service aspirants was enjoying their evening tea when a car rammed the tea stall, injuring 12 students. The driver was allegedly drunk and lost control of the car, and hit people standing on the roadside stall. A First Information Report (FIR) has been registered, and the driver, co-passenger and the vehicle owner have been arrested. The incident occurred on Saturday evening, near Bhave High School in Sadashiv Peth at around 5:30 pm, when a group of students preparing for the Maharashtra Public Service Commission (MPSC) was on a tea break. The accident, recorded on camera, shows a white Hyundai Aura driving straight into a group of students standing by a tea stall, pushing them to the ground. In the CCTV footage, we can see at least five students standing by the road. As the car crashes into them, they are moved out of the frame, but people can be heard wailing. Within seconds, the traffic halts and scores of people rush to rescue the students, probably stuck under the car. A group of men are seeing pulling the vehicle. Meanwhile, another man moves around the nearby stall to make space to carry out the injured. A man walks through the crowd, carrying an injured woman in his arms. The crowd swells. Together, they pull the driver and co-passenger out of the car and thrash them. 12 students suffered injuries. Of them, four sustained severe injuries, including bone fractures and were admitted to Sancheti Hospital. The other students are being treated at Yogesh Hospital. Preliminary investigations suggest that the driver, Jairam Shivaji Mule, 27, was drunk, said Nikhil Pingle, Deputy Commissioner of Police, Pune. "Driver Jairam Mule, co-passenger Rahul Gosavi and car owner Digambar Yadav have been arrested. We are investigating and will take strict action against the accused," said Mr Pingle.

Mass suicide: Panchkula cops struggle to obtain handwriting samples of Mittal for suicide note verification
1 2 Panchkula: Three days after the mass suicide, the district police are yet to obtain handwriting samples of Praveen Mittal to verify the authenticity of the suicide note found at the scene, a key step in ruling out any foul play. To match the handwriting and signature in the note, investigators have reached out to Mittal's bank, requesting documents that contain his handwritten content, such as forms, cheques, or correspondence. However, the bank has not yet shared any such material with the police, slowing down the forensic process, said a police official. "We are doing everything we can to obtain the samples. Once we have them, they will be sent to forensic experts immediately," said a police official. Police said that two suicide notes were recovered—one appeared to have been abandoned midway, with visible cuts and corrections, suggesting that Praveen Mittal was dissatisfied with it and started over. The second note was more complete and coherent. Both were signed. The notes, allegedly written by Mittal, cite bankruptcy as the reason for the drastic step and do not blame anyone. He also mentioned in the note that he was concerned that his minor kids would be left on the roads after they passed away, so they were also made part of the "suicide" pact. They were supposedly given the poisonous substance in a soft drink, while others seemed to have consumed it with water. Since he was changing his living places frequently and was not in touch with his relatives due to debts and current broken bonds, it is difficult to get details as none of the family members are surviving. The police further shared that the car, which was in the name of his friend, was also financed. The investigators have so far traced one bank account belonging to Mittal, and on that too, there was no significant amount. The police are also trying to find clues from three mobile phones recovered from the spot that day. However, a police official said, "Two mobile phones were found switched off, while the third one's password is yet to be broken," said a cop. On Monday night, police found six bodies — Deshraj Mittal (70), his wife Bimla (66), Praveen's wife Reena (40), their son Hardik (13), and twin daughters Dilasha and Dhruvita (11) — inside a Hyundai Aura car in Sector 27. Praveen Mittal (42) was discovered in a semi-conscious state and rushed to the civil hospital, where he died during CPR. The family had been residing in Saketri, having previously lived in Pinjore, Kharar, and Dehradun. Praveen's life was marred by a string of financial failures — from an unsuccessful scrap-material processing plant in Baddi to a failed tour and travel business in Dehradun. Most recently, he was working as a driver in the Panchkula region. His debts reportedly amounted to several crores. He also said to have taken money from finacers, cops are probing.

Once a businessman, Praveen had run up debts of over Rs 20 crore. His assets, including two flats, multiple vehicles, and his factory, were all seized by bank. The family allegedly faced repeated threats from creditors. In recent years, Praveen was making ends meet by driving a taxi. The car in which the family died was financed under the name of a Dehradun resident, G S Negi, whom Praveen had met through NGO work.
