A 17-year-old girl and her 21-year-old brother died after the two-wheeler they were travelling on was hit from behind by another motorcycle near Nigdi in Pimpri, with their family subsequently deciding to donate the girl’s organs, according to a report by Sakal – Pune. The crash took place near the Poona Gate Hotel on Sunday night as the siblings were returning from Ghorawadeshwar.
The victims were identified as Rishita Mulya, 17, and Kaushik Mulya, 21, both residents of Indrayaninagar in Bhosari. They sustained serious injuries in the collision and were initially taken to Yashwantrao Chavan Hospital for treatment, the report said. They were later shifted to a private hospital in Indrayaninagar.
Kaushik died at about 10.30 pm on Sunday while treatment was under way, according to the report. He was a final-year computer engineering student at a college in Alandi. Rishita was taken to another private hospital in Baner, where doctors said she had been declared brain-dead and had not responded to treatment.
The crash highlights the serious consequences of collisions involving two-wheelers on busy roads around Pimpri-Chinchwad. The report did not provide details about the speed of either vehicle, the road conditions, helmet use, or whether police had registered a case against the other rider. It also did not state whether any arrests had been made or whether the circumstances of the collision were under investigation.
The siblings’ father, Ravi Mulya, works as a tailor at the Indrayaninagar mini-market, according to the report. The family’s decision to donate Rishita’s organs was taken while they were coping with the deaths of both children. The report said the decision could help save the lives of other patients awaiting transplants, although it did not specify which organs would be donated or identify any recipients.
Organ donation following a brain-death declaration requires medical confirmation and coordination with authorised transplant and hospital systems. The supplied report does not provide details of the medical or administrative process in this case. It also does not say whether the donation had been completed at the time of publication.
Rishita was studying in Class 11. The report identified the fatal crash location as the area near Poona Gate Hotel in Nigdi and said the incident occurred on Sunday night. Further details about the collision, the investigation and the organ donation process were not available in the supplied account.
