A 10-month-old infant lost his life, and his mother sustained severe injuries in a hit-and-run accident in Shantinagar late on February 23. The unidentified driver fled the scene after ramming into their two-wheeler.
The victim, Sheikh Mustaq Sheikh Moin (33), a resident of Bhilgaon, was riding home with his wife and two children when the incident occurred near the Sataranjipura Zonal Office. As they attempted to cross the road, a speeding black car approached from the Dahi Bazaar Bridge and crashed into their motorcycle from behind. The impact threw his wife and younger son, Munahid Sheikh, onto the road, causing critical injuries.
Passersby rushed them to Mayo Hospital, but doctors declared the infant dead on arrival. The mother remains under medical care.
Shantinagar police have registered a case against the unidentified driver under BNS sections 281, 125(A), and 106(1)(2). Authorities are reviewing CCTV footage from the area to trace the vehicle.
