Palghar Hit-And-Run Case: In yet another hit-and-run case in Maharashtra, a 29-year-old man died after a car rammed into his two-wheeler in Palghar’s Manor. The accident took place around 1 am. The accused, who was driving a Mahindra Scorpio, fled after the crash. However, the police have reportedly seized the car. The police have later taken a man into custody identified as Sachin Suravase. He is said to be the car’s driver, not the owner. 

The victim has been identified as 29-year-old Sagar Gajanan Patil. The victim’s family alleged that the driver was taken into custody to save the car owner. The family also refused to take the body of the victim, alleging that the police had refused to file the case.
