In a tragic hit-and-run incident in Mumbai, a four-year-old boy named Lax, born after 20 years of his parents' marriage, was killed by a speeding car that fled the scene.
A heart-wrenching incident occurred in Malad, Mumbai, where a four-year-old boy named Lax was killed in a hit-and-run accident. Lax was the sole child of his parents, who had waited 20 years after their marriage to have him. On February 7, at around 4 PM, while the family was celebrating a wedding in their building, Lax was playing outside when he was struck by a speeding black Innova car. Despite the cheerful wedding atmosphere, the family was plunged into grief following the tragic event.
CCTV footage from the incident reveals the horrifying moment when the car struck the young boy and then abruptly stopped. The driver of the vehicle, instead of aiding the child or alerting the parents, informed a nearby watchman about the incident before fleeing the scene. The footage shows the watchman later carrying the injured boy, highlighting the chaotic aftermath of the incident. This behavior from the driver adds to the anger and sorrow felt by the family and community.
As the investigation proceeds, this hit-and-run case has drawn attention not only for the tragedy that befell Lax's family but also for broader concerns about road safety and accountability among drivers. The community is mourning the loss of a child who symbolized hope for his parents after two decades of waiting. There are calls for stricter enforcement of traffic laws to prevent such incidents from happening in the future.
