One-year-old Vaibhavi Ritesh Pawar&nbsp;and her two-year-old brother Vaibhav Ritest Pawar&nbsp;were among three people killed when a drunk dumper driver ran over nine people who had been sleeping on a pavement, between 12.30 and 1 am on Monday in Pune. Rinesh N Pawar&nbsp;(30) was also killed. The condition of other six has been described as critical.
The dumper, said to be owned by Buildwell Enterprises, was travelling from Pune to Wagholi, when the driver lost control and ran over the sleeping labourers, police officials said. They added that their initial investigation shows that the driver may have been in an inebriated condition, and lost control of the heavy vehicle, near Wagholi&rsquo;s Kesnand Phata.&nbsp;
He has been arrested.
The injured have been admitted to the Sassoon Hospital.
Witnesses told the police that the shanty-dwellers were construction labourers who arrived in Pune from Amravati on Sunday.
The tragic accident has led to public outrage on&nbsp;<a href="https://x.com/BenefitNews24/status/1871028542823436443">social media</a>.
