A 19-year-old was killed on Friday night when a speeding car hit her at Chunabhatti. Archana Parthe, a resident of Chunabhatti, was meeting her friends and heading to the local market when the accident occurred. The police have arrested three persons in connection with the accident.

Pooja Shahapurkar, 19, resident of Saroj Bhavan Chawl, says that she was headed to the market at 8.15 pm with Samiksha Mali, 21. At Dutta Temple they met Parthe, who was returning home after work. Pooja asked Parthe to accompany them. "Barely 15 minutes into walking, I heard a loud sound of a racing vehicle. We turned and saw a white car approaching us," said Shahapurkar.
