In a separate incident, Paresh Paliya, a middle-aged resident of Vaishnavdevi Circle, was returning home from work on his Activa scooter at around 1:45 am near Sola Bridge, opposite the Fortune Hotel. A four-wheeler driver hit him, causing Pareshbhai to fall and sustain injuries. He was admitted to hospital for treatment. The driver fled the scene after abandoning the Nexon vehicle involved in the crash. A case has been registered by SG-1 Traffic Police, and further investigation is underway.
