Bharati Muley's daughter Meghana (25), driver Suresh Tukaram Nevrekar and co-passenger Sandip Jayvant Chemburkar were injured in the mishap. They were discharged after being treated at two separate private hospitals in Pune.

Bharati Muley and Meghana Muley were returning to Pune after offering worship at a ``math'' in Ahmednagar when the mishap took place. Police said the high speed jeep went om the wrong side of the road and rammed the car near Jakate Vasti hamlet, around 2 kms from Shikrapur.

The car was flung away before it turned upside down. Police said the profusely bleeding victims lay unattended on the road for nearly half an hour as several vehicles sped by.

Some residents of Jakate Vasti had already contacted other members of Muley family in Pune on a cellular phone by the time the police reached the spot on a tip off.

The victims were shifted to the private hospitals in Pune in a jeep plying on the road. Later, assistant police inspector in-charge of Shikrapur police station M L Khangte arrested the jeep driver Yunus Mehboob Nadaf from Solapur. He has been slapped with charges of driving negligently and causing Bharati Muley's death.
