The chilling accident was caught on a nearby CCTV camera
Amid outrage over the BMW hit-and-run in Mumbai involving a politician's son, a woman was killed by a speeding car in Nashik on Tuesday.
The woman was flung in the air and thrown about 15-20 metres away after the white hatchback hit her from the back, chilling footage caught on a CCTV camera shows.
The driver ran away after the accident that occurred in the Gangapur area of Nashik around 5 pm.
Two men can be seen rushing towards the woman after the crash. She was taken to hospital, where she was declared dead.
The police have arrested two persons.
The incident emerged three days after a speeding BMW hit a couple on a two-wheeler in Mumbai's Worli, resulting in the death of a 45-year-old woman. The woman, identified as Kaveri Nakhwa, was returning home with her husband, Pradip, after reportedly shopping for fish.
The man behind the wheels was Mihir Shah, the son of politician Rajesh Shah, a member of Maharashtra Chief Minister Eknath Shinde's Shiv Sena faction.
She was dragged for 1.5 km after the collision before the BMW was stopped. The police said the CCTV footage indicates Mihir Shah swapped seats with his driver and pulled the woman's body out from under the car. The car was then reversed, and it ran over the woman for the second time before driving off.
Mihir Shah has been arrested along with his father and the driver. His mother and sister, who were with him when the police tracked them down, have also been detained.
Earlier in May, a 17-year-old minor was allegedly involved in the Pune Porsche car crash that killed two techies.
According to the police, the minor was driving the car under the influence of alcohol when it rammed into a two-wheeler, killing two software engineers from Madhya Pradesh.
