Alankar Patil and Mohinder Gawand, both 39, have been named as the deceased (39). Both were inhabitants of the Uran taluka village of Aware. According to assistant police inspector Monali Choudhary of the Panvel police station, “Panvel police have issued a FIR against the Patil, who was operating the Maruti Ertiga SUV, for reckless and careless driving resulting in death.” According to API Choudhary, his sister’s name is on the registration of the SUV that Alankar Patil was operating.

When the deadly accident happened along the Palaspe-JNPT highway near Pushpak nagar, Patil and his buddy Gawand were travelling back to their homes.” A Panvel local named Kshitij Kadu claimed, “HMVs being parked along the JNPT route at night has resulted in a number of deadly accidents, particularly for bikers. Recently, two bikers—among them a woman on a scooter—were murdered when their vehicle collided with a trailer that was parked on the JNPT route. Because there are no street lights along the route, it is completely black, which makes it difficult for drivers to see the road. Additionally, the majority of parked HMVs do not maintain their vehicle parking light indication on blink.

To stop such tragedies like these, the traffic authorities has to take seriously reports of allegedly illegally parked HMVs along the busy JNPT road. Alankar Patil, a buddy, worked as a manager at a private company in Uran while Mohinder Gawand was employed by JNPT as a customs clearance agent. The spouse, two small children, parents, and three brothers of Gawand are all still alive. The spouse, two young children, older brother, and two sisters of Patil are still alive.
