Jagruti Hogale lost her life on the Dahanu-Jawhar road. She fell off her bike after it hit a pothole and was run over by a truck

Legal experts are of the opinion that deaths or injuries caused due to apparent negligence or the inability or failure to maintain facilities are grounds for state and civic authorities to offer compensation to the victims. This view has been made in the wake of recent incidents, where a woman biker from Bandra, lost her life after she was thrown off her bike after hitting a pothole on Dahanu-Jawhar road and run over by a truck and the falling tree that crushed ex-Doordarshan anchor Kanchan Rajatnath.
