A hit-and-run case in Dahisar on Friday resulted in the death of a teenager and left two others injured. The victim has been identified as 17-year-old Aditya Velankar. The injured have been named as Piyush Shukla and Karan Rajput, both 18 years old.

The tragic incident occurred as the trio were returning from Shailendra High School in Dahisar East. Riding two separate bikes, they were hit by an unidentified speeding car. According to police, Karan fell on his left, while Aditya suffered severe head injuries after falling on his right.

The injured were rushed to a nearby hospital where doctors declared Aditya dead.
