A woman was struck by a moving car in Lucknow's Janeshwar Mishra Park area in what authorities say may have been a deliberate act following a personal confrontation. According to initial reports, the incident occurred when the woman encountered a man identified as Shahnawaz, whom she had previously been in a relationship with, in the company of another woman.
The woman alleged that Shahnawaz had initially misrepresented his identity to her before entering into a romantic relationship.
