In a distressing incident, Saurabh Gaikwad, the son of former corporator and NCP leader Bandu Gaikwad, allegedly crashed his speeding SUV into a poultry tempo, causing injuries to two individuals in Pune, according to police reports. The accident took place at Z Corner on Manjari-Mundhwa Road around 5 AM on Tuesday. Saurabh Gaikwad, who was driving on the wrong side, also sustained injuries.

Both the tempo driver and cleaner were rushed to a hospital along with Saurabh Gaikwad for treatment.
