A tragic accident was reported in Mumbai’s Lalbaug area early on Friday, when a toddler was killed while her 11-year-old brother suffered injuries after allegedly being run over by an unidentified vehicle.

According to Kalachowki Police, the children’s mother, 27-year-old Suman Prabhu Vajandar, is the complainant in the case. Vajandar, a garbage collector, was working in Lalbaug around 3 am to 4 am on Friday, when the incident occurred near Dr BA Road on the Byculla to Dadar stretch, opposite the main entrance of the Lalbaugcha Raja Ganpati Mandal.

Her children, Shailu, and two-year-old Chanda, were sleeping on the roadside when an unidentified car ran over them and fled the spot without providing medical aid.
