65-year-old woman identified after fatal crash involving novice driver

Two days after a woman was hit by a car driven by a novice, police identified the 65-year-old victim as Lukma Jaiswar. After the accident in which driver Surendra Gupta stepped on the accelerator instead of applying the brakes, the victim remained unidentified. Two other people, a plumber and a student, were also injured in the accident.

Jaiswar resided in Poisar, Kandivali. She is survived by her husband (electrician) and her two sons and two daughters. While his sons live in New Delhi, his daughters are in Mumbai.

Jaiswar often visited the Jari Mari temple in the morning, when the accident occurred near the Fair Green Society. His remains were handed over to his family.
