A 73-year-old woman was killed on the spot after she was allegedly knocked down by a car inside the Tarapur Atomic Power Station (TAPS) hospital premises in Boisar on Wednesday. The vehicle was being driven by a hospital doctor, who had just entered the compound when the incident occurred. A similar case was reported in May last year, when a 60-year-old woman was fatally knocked down by a doctor at Sion Hospital.

The victim has been identified as Chayalata Vishwanath Aarekar, a resident of Boisar. The car was driven by Dr R K Das, who practices at TAPS hospital. Police confirmed that Dr Das was not under the influence of alcohol at the time. He has been arrested by the Tarapur police, who have begun further investigation into the case.
