In a startling turn of events, a 26-year-old woman was seriously injured after her boyfriend, who is the son of a senior bureaucrat in Maharashtra, allegedly tried to mow her down with his car near a hotel in Thane city, police said on Friday.
The woman, Priya Singh, described the harrowing ordeal of how an argument resulted in her boyfriend allegedly beating her, trying to strangle her, and then asking his driver to mow her down.
A case has been registered against a Maharashtra bureaucrat’s son Aswajit Gaikwad for deliberately ramping a car on his lover. Priya and Ashwajit were in a relationship but Priya got to know he was already married. Priya Singh saw Aswajit and his wife together after which they both indulged in a fierce fight.
The victim accused Ashwajit and his friends Romil Patil and Sagar Shelke of assaulting her and trying to crush her under the vehicle. The victim suffered deep wounds all over her body and a bone in her leg was also broken.
The incident took place early on Monday morning near a hotel in Thane and police have registered a case against Ashwajit Gaikwad, the son of Anil Gaikwad, Managing Director at the Maharashtra State Road Development Corporation.
Priya said she received a call from Ashwajit, who she has been in a relationship with for nearly 5 years, at 4 am on Tuesday asking her to join him at a family function.
“Upon reaching there I met some friends and found that my boyfriend was behaving strangely. So I asked him if everything was fine and insisted him for us to talk in private,” she said. Priya stepped out of the function and waited for Ashwajit hoping to talk to him and defuse the tension. But he came out with his friends who started abusing her.
“My boyfriend and his friend used abusive language to which I asked my boyfriend to defend me and not abuse which led to the start of something beyond my imagination. My boyfriend slapped me, tried to strangle my neck, I tried to push him away he bit my hand, beat me, pulled my hair, and his friend out of nowhere pushed me to the ground,” she wrote on her Instagram.
But it did not end there. When she tried to collect her phone and other belongings from his car, Ashwajit asked his driver to mow her down, police said. A Maharashtra police official said that a probe into the incident is underway and no arrest has been made so far.
