Vaibhav Dadas and Prajakta Kharat-Dhadas on their wedding day
A trip to visit a temple by a newlywed couple from Vikhroli turned tragic after the family met with an accident while returning on Monday. The bride has been admitted to Fortis Hospital in critical condition while her mother-in-law lost her life. The groom, who is hospitalised but out of danger, is struggling to meet medical expenses.
Prajakta Kharat-Dadas, 24, and Vaibhav Dadas, 30, who recently tied the knot, were on a trip to Satara with Vaibav’s parents and uncle. Dadas, an engineer at Deloitte, said the accident occurred around 10 am on July 3. “We had just got married and had gone to visit a temple in Satara. However, while heading back, our car skidded off the road, breaching the barricade and going off the ghat section. All I can remember after that is I was in hospital,” he said.
