A 32-year-old man who left home at night to switch on a water pump at his farm did not return. On Thursday, a luxury bus hit his two-wheeler on the Pune-Solapur highway in Sahajpur area of Daund taluka, and he died in the accident.

The deceased has been identified as Sameer Shankar Hole, a resident of Holevasti in Sahajpur, Daund taluka. The accident took place around 10 pm on Thursday near the Jaujibua temple. Sameer was taken to the Yavat Rural Hospital, where doctors declared him dead.

Sameer's cousin, Shubham Avinash Hole, has filed a complaint with the police. According to the complaint, Sameer was riding his motorcycle towards Holewadi because he had to switch on the pump for the water from the well on the farm. When he reached a stretch within the limits of Sahajpur village, a luxury bus travelling from Pune towards Solapur allegedly hit his two-wheeler hard, from behind or from the front.

The impact was so strong that Sameer was seriously injured. Hearing the sound of the collision, Shubham rushed to the spot and found Sameer lying on the road. Relatives arranged an ambulance, and he was taken to the hospital at about 10.15 pm.

At the hospital, doctors found that Sameer had serious injuries to the head, abdomen and other parts of the body. He died because of these injuries.

According to the complaint, the bus driver stopped at the spot but left without helping the injured rider. It is alleged that the driver had fled before the police reached the spot.

The registration number of the bus involved is AR 06 D 0081, while Sameer's motorcycle was MH 61 C 9761.

Yavat police have registered a case on Shubham Hole's complaint. The police are now searching for the bus driver, who has not yet been identified.
