Gondia, July 15: A heartbreaking incident occurred in Dasgaon, Gondia district, Maharashtra. A three-year-old girl tragically lost her life after being struck by a speeding Bolero while accompanying her father to the weekly market on Tuesday. The driver of the vehicle fled the scene following the accident. Family members expressed their outrage, claiming that the police did not apprehend the suspect or seize the vehicle until late at night. This led to local villagers taking to the streets in protest.
According to reports, Lakshmichand Sevaiwar, a resident of Balmatola, had brought his daughter, Kumari Pasi, to the market. During their visit, an unidentified Bolero came speeding and hit the young girl before speeding away towards Kati Marg.

In a display of grief and anger, the father carried his daughter’s body back to the accident site and sat on the road, pleading for justice. He chanted slogans like “Police Haye Haye” (Shame on the Police). Former district council member Narendra Turkar joined the grieving family and villagers in their protest, which lasted from 9 PM until 3 AM.
