NASHIK: Two men from Mumbai, who had been to their relative’s house at Sakegaon village in Jalgaon, were killed after their car toppled near the Tarsod Phata, over 300 km from Nashik, at 3 am on Thursday.
The deceased have been identified as Abhijeet Pasare, a 30-year-old from Dombivali, and Pawan Bagul, a 27-year-old resident of Manpada, said Ganesh Chavan, the assistant police inspector of the Nashirabad police station.
While Pasare died on the spot, Bagul succumbed in a private hospital. The police said Pasare had gone to Sakegaon to drop his fiancé and her mother. He was accompanied by his friend Bagul, who wanted to pick up his wife from Malegaon.
The two men left Sakegaon early on Thursday morning. They intended to get to Malegaon first, and then reach Mumbai by evening. When their car neared Tarsod Phata in Nashirabad, the driver allegedly lost control of the vehicle on a road where construction activity was going on. The car then turned turtle. Passersby called for the police and an ambulance.
