In a tragic incident in Nagpur, Sarvesh Kashelikar, a 34-year-old graduate from VNIT, passed away due to injuries sustained from an accident on October 26. While cycling near Surendranagar around 11 PM, the open luggage compartment hatch of a private bus struck his neck, causing him to fall off his bicycle and struggle for breath.
Witnesses quickly came to his aid, transporting him to a nearby hospital where medical staff managed to resuscitate him initially. However, despite their efforts, his condition worsened, and he ultimately succumbed to his injuries on Monday. His father, Arun Kashelikar, described Sarvesh as a cycling enthusiast who embraced life fully, and the family is now grappling with the sudden loss.
The last rites for Sarvesh were conducted at Ambazari Ghat, marking a somber farewell for a young man whose life was cut short. The incident has raised concerns about road safety, particularly for cyclists, as it follows a similar accident just days earlier in Khaparkheda, where a 40-year-old woman lost her life under comparable circumstances.
In response to the accident, local authorities have initiated a hit-and-run investigation. Police are actively working to identify the private bus involved in the incident and locate the driver responsible for the tragic event. This case highlights the urgent need for improved safety measures for cyclists on the roads.
As the investigation unfolds, the community is left reflecting on the need for greater awareness and safety protocols to prevent such accidents in the future. The family of Sarvesh, along with local residents, are calling for accountability and better protection for cyclists in Nagpur.
