The victim claims she was lying on the road, in pain…
A 26-year-old woman got severely injured after her boyfriend allegedly tried to run her over with his car in Maharashtra Thane.
The accused is the son of a senior bureaucrat.
The woman, Priya Singh, described the pain of how an argument resulted in her boyfriend allegedly beating her, trying to strangle her, and then asking his driver to mow her down.
Early on Monday morning, the incident occurred near a Thane hotel.
Police have registered a case against Ashwajit Gaikwad, the son of Anil Gaikwad, Managing Director at the Maharashtra State Road Development Corporation.
Priya says she received a call from Ashwajit. She had been in a relationship with him for nearly 5 years.
The accused called 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 that we 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 and later did this painful act.
