Saunsar witnessed a tragic incident on the night of August 31, when a speeding four-wheeler vehicle hit a bike rider, Vijay (44), son of Kachru Ingle, on Sayra Berdi road. The vehicle belonged to a liquor contractor, and its employee was driving it. The injured youth died during treatment in Nagpur on Thursday.
