Navi Mumbai, May 9: Three members of a family were killed along with a relative in two separate road accidents on Thursday in a span of four hours in Ratnagiri district.

Seventeen-year-old HSC student, Dhanasree Kadam, was travelling in her father's autorickshaw from Khed to Ratnagiri to appear for her CET (common entrance test) in the morning when it toppled over at Sangameshwar on the Mumbai-Goa highway, flinging her out. She succumbed to her injuries at the civil hospital in Ratnagiri city.

They were following in a Maruti 800 along with a relative, Naresh Devre (50). "Around mid-noon, a heavy JCB machine strapped on top of a trailer fell on the car. It is a very shocking tragedy. Pravin Kadam was popular in the Khed-Ratnagiri area because of his helpful nature,'' said Nandkumar Thakur, additional superintendent of police, Ratnagiri. The second mishap took place on Hathkhamba-Ratnagiri Road, 2km from the accident spot at Sangameshwar.

The only surviving member of the family is younger son Shivam Kadam (15), who was at home.

"Pravin ran an auto transport service in Khed and had been an MNS worker since the party's inception. Whenever there was any accident on the Mumbai-Goa highway, he would invariably rush to help the victims,'' said Vaibhav Khedekar, Ratnagiri head of the MNS party.

Expressing grief and shock at the sudden deaths of three members of the Kadam family and a relative, an angry Khedekar said, "There are barely any good doctors in government hospitals in Ratnagiri and Raigad.''

Meanwhile, trailer driver S A Karande has been detained.

Mumbai, Feb 11: A 65-year-old woman was allegedly killed by her husband over debt and illness in suburban Powai here, police said on Tuesday.

The incident came to light when Sheela Ajit Lad was found dead by her neighbours at Sukh Shanti Co-operative Society at around 9.30 pm on Monday, an official said.

The victim was allegedly killed by her husband Ajit Lad, who hit her on the head with a heavy object, slit her wrists and strangled her to death, he said.

The accused absconded at around 7.30 pm, leaving a note at the crime scene, saying he was going to commit suicide and had killed his wife because he was heavily in debt and she was suffering from an ailment, the official said.

The childless couple lived alone in the apartment, he added.

"On the basis of the note, we have registered a case of murder against Ajit Lad and have launched a manhunt for him. We have not traced him or found his body as he had mentioned suicide in the note," deputy commissioner of police (DCP) Zone X Ankit Goyal said.
