BJP Spokesperson Accuses Driver of Deliberately Running Over His Mother in Pune
In a shocking incident that has sparked outrage, BJP spokesperson Shehzad Poonawalla has alleged that his mother was deliberately run over by a car in Pune on Tuesday, leaving her with serious injuries. Poonawalla claimed the accused fled the scene immediately after the incident, abandoning the elderly woman in a critical condition.
Social Media Appeal for Justice and Prayers
Taking to social media platform X, Poonawalla shared distressing details about the attack. He posted that his mother would soon undergo surgery and appealed to the public for prayers during this difficult time. "A few hours ago, an extremely disgusting human being ran his car over my mother deliberately, leaving her seriously injured and ran away," he wrote in his emotional post.
Poonawalla described his mother as "one of the kindest & nicest human beings" and expressed his anguish over the incident. "For her to be subjected to this at this age makes my blood boil, and my heart sink," he added, highlighting the emotional toll the attack has taken on the family.
Urgent Call for Police Action
The BJP spokesperson made a direct appeal to the Pune police authorities, urging them to swiftly arrest the perpetrator and ensure he faces legal consequences. "Hope Pune police will arrest that person & will ensure he doesn't get away with it," Poonawalla emphasized in his social media statement.
To amplify his demand for justice, Poonawalla tagged several senior police officials and political leaders in his posts, including Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis and the Chief Minister's Office. This strategic move appears designed to draw immediate attention to the case and pressure authorities into taking prompt action.
Growing Concerns About Road Safety and Deliberate Violence
The incident has raised serious questions about road safety and intentional violence against vulnerable individuals in urban areas. While hit-and-run cases are unfortunately common in Indian cities, allegations of deliberate targeting add a disturbing dimension to this particular case.
As the investigation unfolds, several key questions remain unanswered:
- The exact location and circumstances of the incident
- The identity and possible motive of the accused driver
- The current medical condition of Poonawalla's mother
- Whether any witnesses have come forward with information
The Pune police now face mounting pressure to conduct a thorough investigation and provide regular updates on their progress. Given the high-profile nature of the victim's family and the serious allegations involved, this case is likely to receive continued public and media scrutiny in the coming days.
