On December 2, a 34-year-old school teacher was killed after a truck hit her in Mulund. The deceased, Amruta Punamiya, was riding pillion, while her husband rode the bike. He sustained minor injuries while Amruta was declared dead at the hospital.

Since there were no CCTV cameras on the street, the truck driver absconded and has not been tracked down by police yet.

Earlier this year, in July, the BMW hit-and-run case took place as well where a Shiv Sena politician's son, Mihir Shah, allegedly ran over a woman who was riding pillion behind her husband and proceeded to drag her body for 1.5 kilometres.
