A routine morning walk turned fatal for Asha Vijaykumar Patil, 73, who was allegedly run over by an unidentified vehicle on the Pashan Road-Panchavati-NCL stretch early Saturday, January 24, in a suspected hit-and-run case.

Speaking to mid-day, her son Atul Patil, 51, said his mother had followed the same routine for over 10 years. “She would leave home around 5.30 am and return by 6.30-6.45 am. On Saturday, she went alone,” he said. Patil added that his mother regularly walked in the Panchavati and NCL areas, as well as along Pashan Road, and was well-known in the neighbourhood.
