Kartikraj Kate, a dentist from Bhosari who stopped
to help Mete, took him to Yashwantrao Chavan Memorial Hospital in Pimpri where
he was declared dead by the doctors. Mete is from Aurangabad and was living in
Moshi and working in Bhosari. Kate told pune-news.com that he was on his way to
his clinic in Bhosari around 6.30pm on Wednesday when he noticed a crowd at
Indrayaninagar corner. "When I slowed down, I saw a badly injured man
lying on the road. He was soaked in blood but was conscious," he said.
Kate said the man was bleeding profusely and his
face was covered with a cloth. "He was moving his hands and legs. People
had gathered around him. Some clicked photographs of the accident scene, while
some one shot a video too. But none of them was ready to help him," he said.
Kate then flagged down an autorickshaw. "There were passengers in it, but
the driver was helpful. He told them to disembark and put the accident victim
in his vehicle," he said.
Mete had sustained severe head injuries and was bleeding
from the nose and ears. Kate noticed tyre marks on his stomach. On the way to
hospital, Kate tried to save the man's life by giving him cardio pulmonary
resuscitation (CPR). Kate said, "However, after some time, he stopped
responding. The doctors took an electrocardiogram at the hospital and declared
him brought dead. His life could have been saved had the onlookers around taken
him to the hospital immediately."
Senior inspector Bhimrao Shingade of the Bhosari
MIDC police station told pune-news.com that Mete was involved in a hit-and-run accident.
He has appealed to people to contact the police station on 020-27130003 if they
have noted down the registration number of the vehicle or if they have any
information about it.
