Overview
- The Nashik district administration, which named Sinnar municipal officer Abhijit Kadam to lead a five-member probe Tuesday, ordered a report to the collector within one week.
- Police filed cases for rash driving against driver Sunil Dargude and for negligence against well owner Rajendra Raje, then wrote Monday to the civic body to confirm who owns the well after reports of a transfer.
- The Dindori Nagar Panchayat closed the water body and began filling it after state minister Girish Mahajan inspected the site.
- The crash, which sent an MUV into a 25-metre-deep roadside well that lacked a safety wall Friday night, killed nine members of the Dargude family including six children.
- Investigators will review site planning, road work methods, and safety barriers, a step that could reshape how Nashik-area projects handle hazards close to traffic.
