MUMBAI, Nov. 7 -- A 27-year-old sales executive with a private bank died on Thursday after she was hit by a water tanker in the Bandra Kurla Complex (BKC) while crossing the road. The driver of the tanker was likely unable to see her owing to the presence of barricades erected for metro construction, police officers said. He was placed under arrest for rash driving and causing death by negligence, police said. According to the police, the deceased, Khusbhoo Deepak Pariyani, was a native of Buldhana district and lived in Kherwadi in Khar East. On Thursday morning, she took a BEST bus to reach the Asian Hearts Hospital junction in BKC, where her office was located. She alighted from the bus around 9.30am, and tried to cross the road with some colleagues from the bank when she was hit by the tanker. Suresh Padvi, a senior police inspector at the BKC police station, said both Pariyani and the tanker driver were likely caught unawares as she used a four-metre gap in the seven-feet-high metal barricade beside the road to pass through and walk across. "The metal sheets obstruct the vision of pedestrians and motorists as they are quite high. Pariyani might have tried to dart across the road through the gap, seeing the road empty, and the signal might have turned green just then. The tanker driver too might not have seen her due to the metal sheets," Padvi said. The tanker hit her on the left hip and she fell and suffered head injuries due to the impact. Her colleagues rushed her to Gurunanak Hospital in Kherwadi, where she was declared brought dead, police said. The tanker driver, 34-year-old Lalit Kumar, halted the vehicle at the spot after the incident and later surrendered before the BKC police. He was formally placed under arrest under section 106 (1) and 281 of the Bhartiya Nyaya Sanhita and relevant sections of the Motor Vehicles Act, police said....
